A latte, also known as a caffè latte, is a type of coffee drink that is made up of one or two shots of espresso, steamed milk, and a final, thin layer of frothed milk on top. The espresso is combined with several ounces of steamed milk to create a rich, creamy beverage that has a more subtle espresso taste. The typical ratio for espresso to steamed milk is about 1-to-2. The texture of a latte is very important and gives that little bit of extra to the beautiful appearance of this drink. A latte is similar to a cappuccino, but in a latte, the espresso and steamed milk are mixed together, while in a cappuccino, they are distinctly layered. The latte is the big brother of the cappuccino, where everything revolves around the soft, silky foam. The exact preparation of a latte varies widely, as their popularity has exploded in the last 20 years.

To make a latte at home, all you need is espresso and frothed milk. You need to layer the espresso and the frothed milk. Because latte only has a small layer of milk foam, you should pour the liquid, steamed milk on the espresso, while holding a spoon to prevent the frothed milk from being mixed. Once ready, add the milk foam (around 1 cm) .
