Jerry's Cajun Cafe - Jerry Mistretta
CAFÉ AU LAIT
Café au Lait is brewed coffee, preferably dark French roast with chicory, with half scalded – NOT steamed – milk, poured together from two pots.
Bring the water almost to a boil. Using a drip-style coffeemaker with filter, pour a small amount of the water over the coffee grounds to dampen them, then wait 30 seconds. Pour more water over the grounds until the upper pot container is full. Allow to drain, then repeat until all the water is used. Scald, do NOT boil, the milk. Pour coffee into warmed large mugs, then add the milk or pour them together simultaneously.
