Latte is a transliteration of the Italian word "latte". CoffeeLatte is a fancy coffee, which is the ultimate fusion of coffee and milk. Italian latte is pure milk and coffee, while American latte uses milk foam to replace part of milk, which is mostly the case in local lattes.
The famous phrase "I'm not in the cafe, I'm on my way to the cafe" was said by a musician in Vienna. The air in Vienna always smells of music and latte.
Latte classification
Italian latte
Coffee latte needs a small cup of espresso and a cup of milk (150 ~ 200ml). Latte coffee has more milk and less coffee, which is very different from cappuccino. The method of latte is extremely simple, that is, pour the nearly boiling milk into the freshly made espresso. In fact, there is no certain regulation on how much milk to add, and it can be freely allocated according to personal taste.
If you add some frothy cold milk to hot coffee, it becomes an American latte. This is what Starbucks' American latte does, with espresso at the bottom, milk heated to 60~65℃ in the middle, and a layer of milk foam no more than half a centimeter at last.
If you don't smell milk, but directly decorate two spoonfuls of milk bubbles on EspressoMacchiato will become a caramel macchiato that Italians call espresso.
Yulan coffee
Leo coffee can be regarded as a European latte, which is different from American latte and latte.
Leo coffee is also very simple, that is, pour a cup of espresso and a large cup of hot milk into a large cup at the same time, and finally put two spoonfuls of whipped cream on the surface of the liquid.
Leo coffee is different from American latte and Italian latte in that it requires milk and espresso to be poured into the cup together. When milk and coffee met for the first time, they collided with each other in a leisurely and free mood.
The French are the most enthusiastic supporters of Ole coffee. You will see a round Ole cup on the French breakfast table, which is the source of their good mood all day.
Interestingly, comparing all coffee cups, perhaps the cup used by the French to hold Leo coffee is the largest.
Caramel Latte
Caramel color is also called caramel, commonly known as sauce color. It is caramel in English, "karamellzucker" in German and "sucrecaramelise" in French. Caramel pigment is a natural pigment, which is widely used in food and is an important member of food additives. Caramel is a kind of concentrated sugar extracted from rice. Usually used for pudding/latte. The color is almost brown. It is made of food-grade sugar, such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, invert sugar, malt syrup, corn syrup, molasses, starch hydrolysate and so on. By heating (or pressurizing) at a high temperature of 12 1℃ and further processing.
1. Ordinary caramel: made by heating with or without acid or alkali, but without adding ammonium or sulfite compounds. The acid used can be food-grade sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid and citric acid. The alkali used can be sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide.
2. Caustic sulfite caramel: prepared by heating with or without acid or alkali in the presence of sulfite, but without ammonium compounds.
3. Ammonia caramel: It is made by heating with or without acid or alkali in the presence of ammonium compounds, but it does not contain sulfite.
4. Ammonium sulfite caramel: It is made by heating with or without acid or alkali in the presence of sulfite and ammonium compounds.
Latte is the most familiar Italian coffee item in China. This is a fancy coffee, in which the same proportion or even more milk is added to the strong espresso. Under the mild seasoning of milk, the original bitter coffee becomes smooth, sweet and rich, and even people who are not used to drinking coffee can't compete with the delicious latte. Latte, like cappuccino, is suitable for drinking in the morning because it contains a lot of milk. Italians also like to use it to warm their stomachs and go with breakfast. Many people don't know the relationship between latte and Leo. In fact, latte is Italian milk coffee, which uses machine steam to steam milk, while Leo is French coffee, which cooks milk with fire. It tastes warm and smooth and beautiful.
