   Would you mind asking her what kind it is? If you liked it and it was her own recipe, I think she would be flattered and probably give you the recipe. That’s what friends do. = )

   Sounds like Latte, concentrated coffee mixed into milk and steamed it still kinda works if you just pour boiled milk over it and stir.

   Cafe Au Lait –
   In Europe, “Café au lait” stems from the same continental tradition as “Caffè Latte” in Italy, “Café con leche” in Spain and “Café com leite” in Portugal, simply “coffee with milk”. At home prepared from dark coffee and heated milk; in cafés prepared on espresso machines from espresso and steamed milk ever since these machines became available in the 1940’s.
   In many American coffeehouses, a café au lait is simply a latte with strong drip brewed or French pressed coffee substituted for espresso, though a French roast or similarly dark coffee may be the base of the beverage. In the US they thus serve both caffè latte and café au lait as two different coffee beverages, and define them as such while this is not so in Europe, except in the German variation of the drink, Milchkaffee (“milk coffee”) which in Germany is served side by side with the espresso-based caffè latte (which in addition is sometimes called café au lait to add to the confusion).
   In addition, the term “misto” (literally, “mixed”) is often used to refer to a café au lait, most notably by Starbucks.

   Show: Cooking Live
   Episode: New Year’s Day Brunch
   4 cups hot coffee
   4 cups scalded milk
   6 cinnamon sticks
   Into 6 large mugs, pour equal amounts of coffee and milk and garnish each serving with cinnamon sticks.
   (You may use instant coffee powder – 1 teaspoon mixed with 6 ounces of hot water – and 6 ounces hot milk to make only one cup. Or, add the coffee powder directly to hot milk. Cinnamon stick is optional. Sweeten to taste.)

   That sounds like a latte, but do not put coffee grounds directly into it. Make the coffee in a machine and then mix it with steamed milk.
