A Spanish latte is a coffee drink that originated in Spain and is a variation of the café con leche. It is typically made with equal parts of espresso and scalded milk, and sweetened condensed milk is added to give it a sweeter and creamier flavor. The drink is often served hot or cold and is a versatile option. Here are the basic steps to make a Spanish latte:
- Brew a double shot of espresso or strong coffee.
- Warm milk and froth it slightly, but do not steam it like in a classic latte.
- Pour the espresso into a cup, followed by 1.5-2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk.
- Add the warm frothed milk to the mixture.
The Spanish latte is often compared to Vietnamese coffee, as they share some similarities in flavor and preparation. However, a Spanish latte is typically less dense than Vietnamese coffee.
