Welcome to The Storied Recipe Podcast, a podcast about food, culture, and love.
I've curated this list of 12 Winter Latte Recipes from Around the World, the third in a series of Winter Drinks Around the World Series in conjunction with The Heady Scent of Coffee Blossoms from my podcast guest, Accamma Nanjappa.
In the Summer Drinks Around the World round-up series, I curated a list of Summer Coffee Drinks at Home: 36 Refreshing Recipes. Now that it is winter, I wanted to create a list of Winter Latte recipes as a companion post. These recipes will be perfect to snuggle up with for icy winter mornings.
P.S. Check out the other winter drinks round-ups in the series!
How To Use This List
- This post doesn't follow the typical Italian definition of "latte". Usually a latte is one part espresso and one part steamed milk. In this recipe round-up each section is based on what I'm calling the "base" of the latte. So some recipes have a coffee/espresso base, some have a tea base, etc., but all have a steamed milk element to each recipe.
- Each recipe is formatted as the title of the recipe, followed by a "|" symbol and then the blog or person who it is from.
- I've split this list into the following categories: Coffee-based Lattes, Tea-based Lattes, and Spiced Lattes (neither tea nor coffee).
Coffee-based Lattes
In this section, you will find the most "traditional" variations of lattes. These recipes all use espresso/coffee as the base of their drinks, along with steamed milk or cream and other unique syrups and flavorings.
