Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml strong brewed coffee
- 240 ml whole milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 dollop whipped cream (optional)
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew a pot of strong coffee using your preferred method (e.g., French press, drip, or espresso). Set aside 240ml for the recipe.
In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling (about 60–65°C or 140–150°F). Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Stir in the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract into the milk. Whisk together until well combined.
If using, froth the milk mixture using a milk frother or hand whisk until it reaches your desired level of foam.
Pour 120ml of the brewed coffee into each of two mugs.
Divide the warm milk mixture evenly between the mugs, gently layering it over the coffee. Add the froth on top if you frothed the milk.
Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a pinch of ground nutmeg for an extra indulgent touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your French-Canadian-inspired café au lait.
