Seize The Day Cafe Au Lait Recipes

HOMEMADE CAFE AU LAIT

Steps:

• Add the milk to a 2-cup mason jar. Add 1 teaspoon of caramel syrup if using and close the lid tightly. Shake the jar until foamy, about 1 minute. Remove the lid and microwave the foamy milk until hot, about 1 minute.
• Pour the hot coffee into an 8-ounce mug. Top the coffee with the hot milk and spoon over some foam. Drizzle with caramel syrup if desired.

CAFE AU LAIT

Steps:

• Brew coffee. Heat milk, almost to a boil.
• Pour coffee and hot milk, preferably simultaneously, into large cups or mugs.
• Sweeten to taste. If you like the frothy finish that traditional steam infusers give to cafe au lait, whirl the hot milk in a blender (or use a whisk or hand mixer) before filling cups.

CAFé AU LAIT PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Whisk together milk, coffee granules, cornstarch, 1/4 cup sugar, and a small pinch of salt in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, then boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Transfer to a metal bowl set in an ice bath and cool, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Pour into cups or ramekins and chill, uncovered, 20 minutes.
• Beat cream with vanilla and remaining 2 tablespoon sugar using an electric mixer just until soft peaks form. Spoon whipped cream onto puddings and dust cream lightly with cinnamon.
