1
Brew the Coffee
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 0.5 cups of coarse ground coffee to the boiling water and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 4 minutes to allow the flavors to fully brew.
2
Strain the Coffee
After brewing, strain the coffee through a fine mesh strainer or a coffee filter into a large measuring cup or pot. This will remove the coffee grounds, leaving you with a smooth coffee base.
3
Heat the Milk
In another saucepan, heat 2 cups of milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching. Heat until it is warm but not boiling, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Combine Coffee and Milk
Once the milk is heated, combine it with the brewed coffee in a ratio of 1:1, or adjust to your preference. Stir gently to blend the two together.
5
Sweeten to Taste
Add sugar to the Café au Lait to taste, stirring until fully dissolved.
6
Serve
Pour the Café au Lait into mugs and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your warm, comforting beverage!
