1
Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing a strong pot of coffee. Use a coffee-to-water ratio that is higher than usual to ensure the coffee is robust enough to stand up to the milk.
2
Heat the Milk
In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
3
Combine Coffee and Milk
In a large cup or bowl, combine 2 cups of the brewed coffee with 1 cup of the hot milk. Stir gently to mix them together.
4
Add Flavor
If desired, add sugar to taste and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of your café au lait. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
5
Serve
Pour the café au lait into individual cups, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious café au lait!
