FROTHY CAFÉ AU LAIT
Frothing the milk turns everyday “joe” into a coffeehouse treat.
Makes 2 servings (mugs)
1/2
cup fat free milk
2-1/4
cups (20 ounces) freshly brewed hot coffee
Cocoa powder or ground cinnamon for garnish
Just as coffee completes its brewing cycle, place the milk in the
mixing beaker. Place the hand blender, fitted with the whipping disc,
into the beaker. Turn On and run for 15 to 20 seconds at the bottom
of the beaker, then use a gentle up-and-down motion to whip the
milk until frothy, about 45 to 60 seconds. Remove the charger handle
from the hand blender. Pour the coffee into the two mugs, sweeten
as desired, and top each with equal parts of the frothy, whipped milk.
Dust lightly with cocoa powder or ground cinnamon.
