The latte macchiato is a must in the coffee world. If the recipe is quite simple, it will certainly impress your most demanding guests. We explain it all to you.
What is a Latte Macchiato ?
A latte macchiato is made of several elements : milk, milk foam, and espresso. The quantities may change, but this drink is usually served in a transparent glass (prefererably double-walled), in order to highlight the successive layers. This is one of most popular recipes in coffee shops around the world, and for good reason! It combines the natural sweetness of milk with the character of coffee.
