Café Au Lait

4 coffee measures of ground coffee
1 cup (8 oz.) water
¾ cup milk
sugar to taste

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 café au lait, whirl the hot milk in a blender (or use a whisk or hand mixer) before filling cups.

Yield: 3-4 servings
