Latte is a coffee drink with a lot of milk. The recipe was invented by Italian housewives who added triple the amount of milk to the coffee when making it so that even children could drink it. Classic latte is easy to make at home. Homemade latte is very tasty and aromatic.

Latte at home - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or any other milk alternative. Just ensure it heats well and froths similarly to dairy milk for the best texture.
Use unsweetened almond milk and skip any added sugars. Consider a sugar-free syrup or natural sweetener like stevia if desired.
Milk foam is best made fresh, as it tends to deflate over time. If needed, re-froth it briefly before serving.
Store leftover latte in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave, and re-froth if desired.
Yes, freeze coffee in ice cube trays and use them later for iced lattes or thaw for hot drinks—just avoid reheating in the microwave to prevent bitterness.
Use a mason jar: fill it with hot milk, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds, then microwave for 15 seconds to stabilize the foam.
Yes, adjust coffee and milk quantities proportionally. Ensure your tools (like the French press) can handle the volume for frothing.
A standard latte is about 8–12 oz (240–350 ml), with a 1:3 coffee-to-milk ratio. Adjust to taste or cup size.
