Café au lait is French for “coffee with milk.” As suggested by the name, this drink is straight-forward and, therefore, a great place to start to create your own drinks at home. Traditionally, café au lait consists of equal parts brewed coffee and steamed milk. To get the most traditional café au laitpossible, use a dark-roast bean and a French press for brewing the coffee. This is a popular breakfast beverage, typically served in a wide-rimmed bowl, although a large mug will work just fine. If you want to be just like the French, enjoy this delicious beverage with a toasted croissant.
