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!

- 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.
