You might be wondering what exactly is Café au lait. It’s French for “coffee with milk” and basically it’s a French coffee drink.
Doesn’t this picture make you just want to get in your pajamas and snuggle up by a fire with a good book? I love hot drinks but I am not a big fan of coffee. I usually tell people that I am a social drinker when it comes to coffee. But this café au lait has very little coffee in it and it has lots of other yummy stuff in it, so in my book it’s a winner coffee recipe!
It screams Fall with ingredients like pumpkin, toffee… Enjoy!

For a quick version heat the milk in the microwave and use caramel syrup instead.
