Cardamom Caffe Latte | Hot Coffee Latte Recipe | Best Homemade Café Latte is a refreshing warm drink to revitalize you after a hectic work schedule or keep you warm and stimulated amidst winter chill.

Homemade Café Latte brings afresh memories of college canteen where we enjoyed and chatted over creamy hand whipped coffee. We had no idea back then that coffee had trending fancy names like cappuccino, frappe or latte. The list is longer. But I vouch that it was the best coffee I have had.

Even today, when I prepare coffee, my bench mark is the superb coffee that we had at the college canteen – perfect taste and texture. However, adding cardamom to latte has been my upgraded version!

It is a bliss to nibble into Vanilla Muffins or Chocolate Muffins or help yourself to servings of Dates Walnut Cake between sips of Cardamom Caffe Latte.

What is Cardamom Caffe Latte

Latte in Italian means milk and Caffe is referred to as espresso. Therefore, Caffe Latte ideally means coffee espresso with milk. In English Caffe latte is generally referred to as ‘latte’. In simple words, Latte is one-third espresso or decoction, two-thirds steamed milk with a thin layer of milk foam. You may add flavors to your Latte. Just as you have Cinnamon Caffe latte or Vanilla Cafe Latte, here I have added cardamom for an exhilarating Cardamom Caffe latte.

At the coffee houses, coffee is brewed using espresso machines by forcing very hot water under high pressure through finely ground compacted coffee. This extracts maximum flavors from coffee and makes it viscous. Alternatively at home, the simplest way is to add hot water to coffee powder is just fine to extract maximum flavors. This is known as decoction. There is another method for yielding thick coffee decoction. I will try to cover in later posts.
