Chef Wood answers only when you ask, so take all the time you need. His answers come from AI and are general cooking guidance.
- This is merely very strong coffee added to a large proportion of good hot milk;
- about 6 tablespoonfuls of strong coffee being quite sufficient for a breakfast-cupful of milk.
- Of the essence which answers admirably for café au lait, so much would not be required.
- This preparation is infinitely superior to the weak watery coffee so often served at English tables.
- A little cream mixed with the milk, if the latter cannot be depended on for richness, improves the taste of the coffee, as also the richness of the beverage.
- Sufficient.—6 tablespoonfuls of strong coffee, or 2 tablespoonfuls of the essence, to a breakfast-cupful of milk.
