Café au Lait is a popular beverage characterized by its mild flavor, achieved by combining steamed milk with coffee. The proportions of coffee and milk can be adjusted to suit individual preferences.
Ingredients:
- Optional additions to Café au Lait include ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or sweetened chocolate powder.
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2/3 cup coffee
Directions:
- Pour the coffee into a cup.
- Steam the milk and pour into the coffee, leaving a layer of froth on top.
- Drizzle cinnamon, nutmeg, or chocolate powder on top of the foam, if you wish.
Yield: 1 Servings
Variation:
To create a Café Vermont, add 3 tablespoons of maple syrup to the coffee before adding the steamed milk. The remaining steps of the process are identical to those for making a traditional Café au Lait.
