Introduction to Italian latte Caff è Latte

The history of lattes

This is the story of 1683. This year, the Turkish army attacked Vienna for the second time. The then Emperor Augustus I of Vienna had an offensive and defensive alliance with King Augustus II of Poland, and as soon as the Poles heard the news, reinforcements would arrive quickly. But the question is, who will break through the siege of the Turks to deliver letters to the Poles? Kochsky, a Viennese who had traveled in Turkey, volunteered to deceive the besieged Turkish army in fluent Turkish, crossed the Danube and moved to Poland.

Although the Ottoman army was brave and skillful, it retreated hastily under the attack of the Polish and Viennese armies, leaving behind a large number of military supplies outside the city. among them are dozens of sacks of coffee beans-coffee beans that the Muslim world has controlled for centuries that have refused to flow out so easily into the hands of Viennese.

Magic drink

But the Viennese don't know what it is. Only Kochsky knows that this is a magical drink. So he asked for dozens of sacks of coffee beans as a reward for breaking through the siege, and used the trophies to open a cafe in Vienna, Blue bottle. At first, the business of the cafe was not good. The reason is that Europeans do not like to drink coffee grounds with coffee grounds as the Turks do. So the clever Kochsky changed the recipe, filtering out the coffee grounds and adding a lot of milk-this is the original version of the latte that is common in cafes today.

Italian latte

Italian latte-Caff è Latte requires a small cup of Espresso (Italian coffee word) and a cup of milk (150mm 200ml). Lattes have more milk and less coffee, which is very different from Cappuccino (cappuccino). The latte is as simple as pouring nearly boiling milk into a freshly made espresso. In fact, there is no fixed rule on how much milk is added, and it can be freely mixed according to individual taste.

American latte

If you add some frothy cold milk to the hot milk, it becomes an American latte. Starbucks American lattes are made in this way, with espresso at the bottom, milk heated to 60 to 65 ℃ in the middle, and cold milk foam of no more than half a centimeter.

Caramel latte

Caramel latte-there is another kind of latte called caramel latte. It is made from food-grade sugars such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, inverted sugar, maltose syrup, corn syrup, molasses, starch hydrolysates, etc., heated (or pressurized) at a high temperature above 121℃, and further treated.
