FAQ
Is decaffeinated latte completely caffeine-free?
No, decaffeinated coffee still contains trace amounts of caffeine, typically between 2-15 mg per cup, depending on the decaffeination process and brewing method.
How does the flavored syrup affect the nutritional profile?
Flavored syrups add sugar and calories, increasing the carbohydrate and sugar content. For example, a pump of vanilla syrup can add about 20 calories and 5g of sugar.
Can I make a healthier version at home?
Yes, use unsweetened plant-based milk, a small amount of natural sweetener like stevia, and flavor extracts (e.g., vanilla or almond) to reduce sugar and calories while maintaining taste.
