Comment préparer New Orleans Style Cafe Au Lait

Heat 4 cups of filtered water to 204-208°F (96-98°C). Do not boil.
Place 2 tablespoons of your favorite New Orleans-style dark roast coffee and chicory blend (e.g., French Market, Community Coffee) into a drip coffee filter.
Gently pour a small amount of the hot water over the grounds to bloom them. Let stand for 30 seconds.
Slowly pour the remaining hot water over the grounds, ensuring even saturation.
Allow the coffee to drip completely.
In a separate saucepan, gently heat 2 cups of whole milk over medium-low heat. The milk should reach just below the boiling point; it should be scalded, not boiled.
Warm your mugs with hot water, then empty them.
Pour equal parts (1 cup each) of freshly brewed coffee and scalded milk into each mug.
Add sugar or other sweetener to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic New Orleans Cafe au Lait!
