Ingredients
- 1 cup coffee, brewed*
- 1 cup milk, steamed
Instructions
Brew the coffee:
- Either in a French press or drip coffee maker, brew a strong cup of coffee using 1 tablespoon of French roast coffee with chicory (New Orleans-style) per 1 cup of water.
Steam the milk:
- Warm up the milk using a steamer, in a small pot on the stovetop, or (alternatively) in the microwave.
Serve:
- Combine equal parts of steamed milk and brewed coffee inside a mug. Sip away and enjoy.
Notes
- Make your own New Orleans-style coffee blend by mixing ¾ cup of ground French roast coffee with ¼ cup of ground roasted chicory. This 1 cup mix will yield enough for 12 cups of coffee which can be measured out in 1 tablespoons per cup or used to brew a full pot.
- If using coffee without chicory, add a little extra to ensure the coffee is nice and strong.
- I use this beignet mix to make them at home for my kids.
