Latte is an Italian noun that translates to 'milk' in English. It refers to a popular coffee beverage made with espresso and steamed milk.
In Italy, latte is typically served in a glass and is enjoyed for breakfast or as an afternoon pick-me-up. The ratio of espresso to steamed milk can vary, but it is generally equal parts of each. Some variations of latte include flavored syrups or toppings like cocoa powder or cinnamon.
Outside of Italy, the term 'latte' has come to refer specifically to a caffe latte, which is a combination of espresso and steamed milk. This drink is often topped with a small amount of frothed milk and may be served in a ceramic cup or mug.
