What are latte and espresso's and how do you make it?
Answers:
Espresso
The classic espresso recipe: a single shot of espresso, approximately 1-1/2 ounces. Best served in a pre-heated espresso cup.
Caffe Latte
Referred to by the French as Cafe au Lait and the Spanish as Cafe con Leche. A double-shot of espresso (about 3 ounces) mixed with about 5 ounces of steamed milk. Usually little or no foam is added to the top. Serve in a large 9 ounce bowl-shaped heavy cup.
Cappuccino
Typically 1/3 part espresso to 2/3 part frothed milk in a 5 ounce cappuccino cup, then top the Cappuccino with foam from the frothed milk. Cappuccino can be garnished with a light sprinkle of ground chocolate, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg or vanilla powder.

A latte is a drink made with espresso and steamed milk, usually using syrups for flavor. Espresso is a very strong coffee made using a special machine that usually uses steam to extract the flavor from a fine grind of a strong coffee. Without buying an expensive machine, you can make something similar. Just make a very strong coffee (about 1/4 c. per serving), heat up about a cup of milk, and add a couple tablespoons of your favorite coffee syrup. For the real thing you need the machine or a trip to the coffeehouse.
