Café Au Lait Recipe

To make cafe au lait we will require the following ingredients (proportions mentioned here are for a single cup that you can increase for multiple servings)

First of all, ensure you have gathered all the ingredients. Let us see how to prepare steamed milk and hot coffee.

Prepare Steamed Milk

If you have an espresso machine or a steam wand you can use them for steaming milk. Or else you can follow the below said method for the same

1. Take one glass jar (Mason jar is good) and pour the milk into it
2. Cover the glass well and shake it for at least 45 seconds. This incorporates air (looks the same as whipped heavy cream). Stop shaking the jar when you see the milk has doubled in volume
3. Open the cover and put the jar into a microwave for at least (30 to 45) seconds. Keep monitoring so that the milk doesn’t turn too hot to deflate the air. The milk should be hot to touch (You can also heat the milk at a low temperature in a saucepan). Heating the milk in an espresso machine or a steam wand you don’t have to worry about burning
4. Once done take out the glass jar and keep aside the foam

Prepare Hot Coffee

While your milk is steaming you can prepare the other stuff in the meantime. You can make the hot coffee in an espresso machine (if you have one). Otherwise, follow the traditional method as stated below

1. As already said for the traditional French coffee you will need a strong hot coffee. To prepare the same the coffee should be more than the water as shown in the picture above
2. Take a saucepan add the amount of coffee required and half the water for a strong coffee
3. Stir well so that it doesn’t get stuck into the saucepan
4. Once it becomes hot remove the pan from the gas oven

Now that both the key ingredients are ready we can move forward to prepare cafe au lait.

Prepare Café Au Lait

We have come to the final step of the recipe. To maintain the traditional French side serve the coffee immediately into the cups.

1. Take a cup
2. Pour hot coffee and steamed milk in equal portion
3. Being artistic you can lay your hands to create a beautiful latté art with the steamed milk
4. Add the amount of sugar you have kept
5. Stir well with a spoon
6. Finally add the foam above that you have kept aside

So this is the classic French recipe. You can hybrid the drink by adding ½ tbsp of cocoa powder per serving into your milk before whisking for nearly (5 to 10) minutes at low temperatures. As a result, you get the perfect cup of mocha-café au lait for a perfect nightcap with a brunch.
