Café au Lait is a coffee drink made with equal parts brewed coffee and hot milk. It is a popular beverage in France, where it is often served in a large bowl, similar to the way it is served in other parts of Europe. Café au Lait is similar to cappuccino, which is made with equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam, but it is typically made with brewed coffee rather than espresso. The origins of Café au Lait are unclear, but it is likely that it has been enjoyed in France for centuries.
