The beautiful part of making your own anything is that you can make it how you like it. Same goes with making your own warm frothy cup of coffee. I woke on this rainy San Francisco morning not wanting to leave the confines of my apartment. I took out my milk, New Orleans Chicory blend, and raw sugar. Sans French press or coffee machine, I took out the old fashion stove pot and lit my fire. Next, poured my milk into the warmed pot and scooped two heaping spoonfuls of chicory blend into the milk. I then sweetened to taste. I made mine skim, extra sweet, extra hot. Finally, added some cinnamon to taste. I couldn’t think of a better way to sip my cafe au lait then inside with my pug and a cozy sweater.
