Step 1: Brew the Coffee
Select your coffee for its roast. An Italian dark roast will suffice. However, in order to stay with tradition, a French roast may be more suitable. Once ground, vital oils in coffee begin to dry. Keeping coffee in whole beans until it's time to use them may increase the flavor of your coffee. Store beans in a cool, air tight place to protect the oils from evaporating or freezing.
Step 2: Scald the Milk
The type of milk which is used will determine how fast it will scald. Take care not to boil milk, bringing it only to a point where tiny bubble begin to form. The higher the fat content of the milk, the more likely it is to boil, while skim milk takes much longer to bubble as do many nut and rice milks with a high water content. Scald the milk in a saucepan in preparation for the final step of the Cafe Au Lait. If you find it difficult to determine when the milk is ready, use a kitchen thermometer to reach 150 to 160ºF.
Step 3: Combination
Making this drink with the coffee on bottom or top is a personal preference. Some believe that coffee will be hotter than milk. Therefore some choose to place the coffee in the bottom, adding it to the mug first. However the authentic way to combine these two classics into a Cafe Au Lait is to pour both the coffee and the milk at the same time, and at the same proportion. Attempt this combination from two feet above the cup, the traditional way, to add a bit of entertainment to your Cafe Au Lait making process.
