Ingredients
- 1 cup Freshly brewed coffee
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Brew a fresh cup of coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, pour-over, etc.). Keep it hot.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, pour the whole milk and heat it over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until it is warm and steaming. Do not let it come to a boil.
Step 3
Use a frother, whisk, or immersion blender to froth the milk until it becomes creamy and slightly foamy. If you don’t have a frother, simply whisk the milk vigorously by hand.
Step 4
Pour the hot brewed coffee into a large mug, filling it halfway.
Step 5
Slowly add the steamed milk to the coffee, pouring it gently to combine the two liquids evenly. You can hold back some of the foam with a spoon and then top the drink with the foam for a decorative touch.
Step 6
If desired, stir in granulated sugar and vanilla extract to taste.
Step 7
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your creamy Cafe Au Lait!
