Latte
Latte is an Italian coffee drink made by combining espresso with steamed milk.
After World War II, Latte gained popularity in the U.S. as Americans sought to recreate the coffee flavors they had enjoyed in Italy. To mellow the bold intensity of Espresso, they added milk, resulting in a balanced and approachable beverage.
With its smooth and mild flavor, Latte quickly became one of the most popular coffee drinks, spreading across the U.S. and worldwide.
