Cafe Au Lait

Café au Lait: The French version of a latte. The term Café Au Lait is French for “coffee to the milk” and it is a popular traditional morning drink from France.

It is made with steamed milk and double strength, dark roast coffee in a 50:50 ratio. 50% steamed milk, 50% coffee. Foam is generally not a feature of this drink but you can float a little foam on top if you want.

Espresso is not a feature of this drink and so it could also be called a Poor Mans latte. Easily and inexpensively made with only a few simple instruments.
