Cafe au Lait
Steven DepoloSteamed milk and hot coffee blend to make the perfect mellow beverage, a cafe au lait. Serve the comforting drink at a traditional French breakfast or as an after brunch coffee with a single square of dark chocolate.
Mix and serve hot.
Makes 1 serving.
I wanted to add my 2 cents concerning the previous review about using espresso. The term cafe au lait is literally translated as coffee and milk. It is not necessary to use espresso. It has traditionally been made with coffee until espresso machines became available. The difference is that the milk is heated or steamed, rather than just adding milk or cream to your coffee. So choose your coffee to your preference :)
