NEW ORLEANS STYLE CAFE AU LAIT
"Real, New Orleans-style coffee must be dark roast, brewed strong, and must include chicory. In fact, most of the coffee drunk in the Crescent City is a coffee-and-chicory blend". Some well-known local coffee-and-chicory brands are French Market (my personal favorite), Community Coffee, Cafe du Monde or Union. Brew your coffee in a drip coffeemaker only, and serve with half coffee and half scalded (NOT steamed!) milk. From www.gumbopages.com and posted for ZWT5.

- 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. This means to heat it until JUST below the boiling point.
- Pour coffee into warmed large mugs, then add the milk.

NEW ORLEANS CAFE AU LAIT

Tips:
- Use fresh coffee. Freshly ground coffee beans will give your café au lait the best flavor.
- Use a good quality milk. Whole milk or 2% milk will give your café au lait a rich and creamy texture.
- Heat the milk slowly. Heating the milk slowly will help to prevent it from curdling.
- Don't boil the milk. Boiling the milk will give it a burnt flavor.
- Add the coffee to the milk. Adding the coffee to the milk, rather than the other way around, will help to prevent the coffee from curdling.
- Sweeten to taste. If you like your café au lait sweet, add sugar or honey to taste.
- Serve immediately. Café au lait is best served immediately after it is made.
