1
Brew the Coffee
Using your preferred method, brew 1 cup of drip coffee. Ensure that the coffee is brewed to your liking, adjusting the coffee-to-water ratio as needed.
2
Steam the Milk
In a small saucepan or using a milk steamer, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Once the milk is hot, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it has a creamy texture and slight foam.
3
Combine Coffee and Milk
In a large coffee mug, pour the brewed drip coffee. Slowly add the steamed milk to the coffee, allowing it to blend naturally. Adjust the ratio of coffee to milk according to personal preference.
4
Serve
Serve the Cafe Au Lait immediately while hot. Optionally, you can sprinkle some cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for added flavor.
