1
Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing your favorite coffee using a coffee maker, French press, or pour-over method. Aim for a strong brew to balance with the milk.
2
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching. Heat until it is steaming but not boiling.
3
Combine Coffee and Milk
In a large mug, add the freshly brewed coffee. Stir in the sugar to taste. Gradually pour the heated milk into the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon if desired.
4
Serve
Taste your Au Lait and adjust the sweetness if needed. Optionally, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder for added flavor. Serve immediately, enjoying the warm beverage.
