Café latte
Lattes (or Caffe Lattes) are espresso drinks made with a fairly large amount of foamed milk. They are milkier than cappuccinos. In America, many lattes are prepared as flavored lattes.
If you’re a habitual latte drinker, investing in a basic espresso maker and learning to make lattes can save you an enormous amount of money each year.Yield: 1 serving
