Cafe Latte

A latte or café latte is a coffee drink consisting of espresso mixed with microfoam.

Microfoam is steamed milk with small, fine bubbles and a glossy or velvety consistency.

For our coffee at Lake Safari Lodge, we use a 1:4 ratio, so ristretto (30mls) or espresso (40mls) to 160mls of milk.
