What is "café au lait"?

Café au lait is a classic coffee drink that originated in France and literally means "coffee with milk." It is made by combining equal parts of brewed coffee and steamed milk, giving the drink a creamy and smooth texture. The coffee used is typically a dark roast, and the milk is heated until it is just below boiling point, creating a velvety texture and a slightly sweet taste. Café au lait is often served in a large bowl or mug and is a popular breakfast drink in France, where it is often enjoyed with croissants or other pastries. In the United States, café au lait is sometimes served with a shot of flavored syrup, such as vanilla or hazelnut, for added sweetness and flavor.
