Here in Maryland, the weather is still a little chilly. The rain keeps me inside seeking something warm and comforting.
This week's latte is a little spicy to warm up your insides. I hope that you'll like the different flavors and warm up with something delightful.
Did you know: Each pump on a bottle of syrup dispenses 1/4 ounce of syrup? Usually, a pump of flavoring from syrups with sugar has about 5 grams of carb and 20 calories. In most coffee houses, 3 of these “pumps” are put into a 12 oz coffee drink, 4 into a 16 oz drink, and 5 into a 20 oz drink.
What a latte?
A latte is type of coffee that's made with espresso and hot steamed milk. It comes from the Italian word caffè e latte, caffelatte or caffellatte, which means “milk coffee”.
A latte is the creamiest of the espresso drinks because it is two-thirds steamed milk, espresso and topped with milk foam.
How much coffee is in a latte?
A latte is made with 1-3 shots of espresso. Although usually it is made standard with 2 shots.

- 1 tsp cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1tsp Nutmeg
- 1tsp cinnamon
