The
Caffè latte is another classic Italian breakfast beverage. It is milder in
taste and heavier on the milk than the other espresso-based recipes. It is now
popular all over the world and is enjoyed throughout the day.
Preparation1. Warm the glass on top of your machine or by heating it with hot water. Brew one shot (25 ml) of espresso into your glass. If your glass does not fit under the spouts, brew your shots into a small jug instead.
2. Steam
about 210 ml of milk to about 60-65 ⁰C or until the
pitcher is just too hot to touch.
3. If
your espresso has been poured into a small jug, pour it into the glass. Pour
the milk over the coffee, holding the jug close to the cup and pouring with a
gentle side-to-side rocking motion. If desired, create a tulip latte art
design.
Serve
immediatelly, with a spoon to stir. If you prefer a latte white layer of foam
on top, simply brew your espresso into a small jug, then pou your milk into the
glass first, followed by espresso.
In some establishments, lattes are served in a
glass on a saucer with a napkin which can be used to hold the (sometimes hot)
glass.
A
latte is sometimes served in a bowl; in Europe, particularly Scandinavia, this
is referred to as a cafe au lait.
Increasingly
common in Western and European, latte art has led to the stylization of coffee
making, and the creation of what is now a popular art form.
In
Asia and North America, lattes have been combined with Asian teas.
Other
flavorings can be added to the latte to suit the taste of the drinker. Vanilla,
chocolate, and caramel are all popular variants.
In
South Africa a red latte is made with rooibos tea.
