Café au Lait
Do you get French vibes when you hear "Café au Lait," or is it just me? I automatically feel like I want to grab a croissant and roam the streets of Paris. In France, their signature Café au Lait is basically a hot drink consisting of equal parts of steamed milk and strong hot coffee. While seemingly sophisticated, this mellow drink is super easy to replicate at home and service with a traditional French breakfast. What’s even more, you could actually prep it as an after-brunch coffee with one of your besties alongside some chocolate (or dark chocolate, if you’re on a healthier diet like me.) So, without further ado, let me introduce you to one of my favorite milk drinks that’ll take you on a flight to Paris right from your couch at home. The Café au Lait recipe it is!

Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Brew your strong Sip Herbals Coffee Substitute or strong coffee.
- Pour the milk into a glass jar (I love Mason jars, they do the job perfectly).
- If it’s not a Mason jar, put a lid on the jar and screw it tightly.
- Shake the jar for approximately 45 seconds.
- Don’t stop shaking until you notice that the milk seems to have expanded (almost doubled) in volume.
- Remove the lid or cover and put the jar in a microwave on high heat for 30-45 seconds.
- While the jar is in the microwave, keep a close eye on it because if it gets too hot, the air that went into it will deflate.
- Take the jar out, remove the foam, and keep it aside to be used later.
- Pour the steamed milk into the coffee.
- Spoon the foam on top.
