Latte

Caffè latte, often shortened to just latte in English, is a coffee drink of Italian origin made with espresso and steamed milk. The term comes from the Italian caffellatte or caffè latte, from caffè e latte, literally "coffee and milk"; in English orthography either or both words sometimes have an accent on the final e. In northern Europe and Scandinavia, the term café au lait has traditionally been used for the combination of espresso and milk. In France, café latte is from the original name of the drink; a combination of espresso and steamed milk equivalent to a "latte" is in French called grand crème and in German Milchkaffee or Wiener Melange. Variants include the chocolate-flavored mocha or replacing the coffee with another drink base such as masala chai, mate, matcha, turmeric or rooibos; other types of milk, such as soy milk or almond milk, are also used.
