New Orleans Café Au Lait

Recipe #151134 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: littleturtle

The secret to this coffee is the earthy taste of chicory. A dark roast works best and if you mix the chicory in yourself you can vary the proportions to suit your tastes (20-40% chicory for most people). I recommend 25% chicory. The proportion of milk to coffee can also be varied to suit your taste. If you can't find chicory or coffee premixed with chicory in your area, both are available online at orleanscoffee.com/ and premixed is also available at cafedumonde.com/ or neworleanscoffeeworks.com/ or frenchmarketcoffee.com

    While living in Baton Rouge, LA I fell in love with the coffee. Made this using my chicory/coffee blend that came from the French Market area of New Orleans. Delciious, rich, dessert coffee.

    What a nice change from my usual morning coffee! All I had was skim milk so my froth was minimal even after a quick whisk but I still enjoyed my coffee. Thanks!
