Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Chicory coffee
- 1 cup Hot water
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
Instructions
Brew a strong cup of chicory coffee by combining 2 tablespoons of chicory coffee with 1 cup of hot water in a French press or coffee maker. Let it steep for 4-5 minutes before pressing or filtering.
While the coffee is brewing, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not allow it to boil.
Optional: If you prefer frothy milk, use a whisk or frother to create a layer of foam while heating the milk.
Once the coffee is ready, pour it into a large coffee mug until it is halfway full.
Gently pour the steamed milk over the coffee to fill the rest of the mug. Hold back the foam with a spoon, if applicable, and spoon the foam on top as a finishing touch.
Optional: Stir in sugar to taste if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Cafe Au Lait Luzianna.
