Latte
Espresso topped with steamed milk and a thin layer of foam, a mild, milky coffee drink meant to be drunk hot.
Where it comes from
A higher ratio of milk to espresso than a cappuccino made it a gentler introduction to espresso drinks for people used to milkier coffee.
What cooks argue about
The argument is over milk texture: steaming it to a thick microfoam for latte art, or steaming it looser and pouring it straight in, faster but leaving no pattern on top.
Nobody has published a latte recipe yet. The page stays out of search until one exists, which is the rule for every thin page here.
