Ingredients

  • 1 cup coffee brewed*
  • 1 cup milk steamed

Instructions

Brew the coffee:
    Cup of Yum
  1. 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:
  1. Warm up the milk using a steamer, in a small pot on the stovetop, or (alternatively) in the microwave.
Serve:
  1. 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.
