🇬🇧 Latte meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

A latte is a warm, creamy drink that grown-ups often get at coffee shops. It is made by first making very strong coffee called espresso, and then mixing it with a lot of warm, frothy milk. This makes the drink taste smoother and less bitter than plain coffee. People sometimes add sugar or flavors like vanilla or caramel to their latte. It usually comes in a tall cup and is not a drink for kids, because it has a lot of coffee in it.
