Café au lait is a French coffee drink. The meaning of the term differs between Europe and the United States; in both cases it means some kind of coffee with hot milk added, in contrast to white coffee, which is coffee with room temperature milk or other whitener added. This coffee, when mixed with various sweet ingredients and frozen for several hours, can turn into a cafe au lait pie. (Wikipedia)
