Latte
Derived from the Italian word "Caffelatte" meaning coffee with milk, this drink is an espresso bar classic.
Ingredients:
- Espresso
- 2% milk by default but can be modified to the customer’s milk of choice.
To make a medium latte, use a ceramic latte bowl if ordered to stay or a 12 oz paper cup if ordered to go.
- Prep a standard steaming pitcher with 10 oz of milk.
- Pull a double short (2 oz) shot of espresso into the cup.
- Steam and aerate the milk to microfoam texture at 65°C or 150°F.
- Pour the milk over the espresso and finish with latte art.
- If drink is to stay, serve on a large saucer with a tea spoon.
To make a large latte, use a 16 oz glass if ordered to stay, or a 16 oz paper cup if ordered to go.
- Prep a standard steaming pitcher with 13 oz of milk.
- Pull a double long (3oz) shot of espresso into the cup.
- Steam and aerate the milk to microfoam texture at 65°C or 150°F.
- Pour the milk over the espresso and finish with latte art.
Note: For a sweeter take on the classic, a customer may choose to add a flavour syrup to their latte which can easily be added in the modifiers menu.
