1
Boil Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
2
Prepare Coffee Grounds
While the water is boiling, measure out 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee.
3
Brew Coffee
Once the water is boiling, pour it over the coffee grounds in a French press or drip coffee maker. Allow it to steep for about 4-5 minutes before pressing or filtering.

4
Heat Milk
In a saucepan, heat 2 cups of whole milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
5
Sweeten Milk
Add sugar to the heated milk to taste, stirring until it is fully dissolved.

6
Combine Coffee and Milk
Pour equal parts of brewed coffee and heated milk into a large mug or bowl. Adjust the ratio according to your taste preference.
7
Serve
Stir gently and enjoy your Café au Lait hot. Optionally, you can sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder for added flavor.
