LOW-CAL ICED COFFEE WITH MILK (CAFE AU LAIT)

Steps:

• Add the coffee to the cold water and let it sit for a while, around 5 minutes (because theres no heat to transfer the flavour to the water, it needs time to mix).
• Add the milk, sweetener, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the coffee and stir.
• Add ice cubes before serving. Pour into a tall glass. Enjoy.

NEW ORLEANS STYLE CAFE AU LAIT

Steps:

• Bring the water almost to a boil, to a temperature of 204-208 degrees F.
• 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. This means to heat it until JUST below the boiling point.
• Pour coffee into warmed large mugs, then add the milk.
• Add sweetener if desired and serve.

• Pour the coffee equally into 3 eight-ounce coffee cups or 2 twelve-ounce coffee cups and fill each with the same amount of cream (the ratio of coffee to cream should be 1:1).
