Latte

A latte is a coffee drink that is normally made with espresso and steamed milk. There are many variations of lattes, but the most common include adding flavoring, such as vanilla, chocolate, or caramel.

The history of the latte is a bit unclear, but it is believed that the drink originated in Italy during the 17th century. The first written record of the word "latte" was in the 1847 book, "Caffè Florian," which is a collection of coffee recipes. It is believed that the word "latte" comes from the Italian word "latte," meaning milk.

In the early 1900s, coffeehouses in Italy began serving coffee with steamed milk, which was called a "latte macchiato." This word is derived from the Italian word "macchiato," meaning "marked." The "latte macchiato" became popular in the United States in the 1980s.
