Almond Milk Latte
An Almond Milk Latte is a creamy coffee beverage that combines espresso or strong brewed coffee with steamed almond milk. It typically includes just two main ingredients: coffee and unsweetened or sweetened almond milk, sometimes with a touch of vanilla or sweetener. This drink originated in Western coffee culture as a popular dairy-free alternative to traditional lattes.
