Café au Lait

3.1

(4)

Don't let a cloudless sky stop you from enjoying a white Christmas. Create your own by whirring hot milk in a blender until it's as light as freshly fallen snow. The creamy froth blankets strong, dark coffee for a special morning brew.

Cooks’ note:

Make sure to use low-fat milk; the fat in whole milk prevents it from frothing as well.
