How To Make 3-Ingredient Steamed Coffee and Milk At Home

This really could NOT be easier. And, I couldn’t be more obsessed.

I do not know about you, but I am having SERIOUS withdrawals from going in to my local coffee shop, and having a Barista whip up their magic by making me a tasty beverage concoction.

You know what I miss the most? My Cafe Au Lait, or Cafe Misto, as it’s called at Starbucks. You know, that tasty, sweet coffee and steamed milk.

Well, thank my lucky stars, I can make this heavenly caffeinated beverage at home, and it’s pretty dang close to the original.

Start by brewing up some coffee. I don’t care what kind. I don’t care if it’s flavored — though that may be rather tasty! I don’t care if it comes from a generic store, of if you paid a pretty penny at a coffee shop. It’s coffee. Just make it.

Now, take about a cup of milk — the more fat, the better — and heat it up on the stove. Don’t let it come to a boil, but wait until it is ALMOST at a boil.

Take the milk off the heat, and WITHOUT BURNING YOURSELF, you are going to whip up that milk.

I use a hand mixer on medium speed for about thirty seconds. You can get fancy, and use a milk frother. You can EVEN whisk it by hand — use those arm muscles. You just want it to turn out frothy and foamy.

Pour your coffee into a mug — about half full.

Sweeten it however you like — sugar, brown sugar, stevia, syrup, and Splenda are all GREAT choices. Just choose one.

Stir it up well.

Slowly add in the whipped milk. Stir slightly.
