Popular Dairy-friendly Coffeehouse Drinks, Defined
Here is a basic description of the popular coffeehouse drinks you’ll find today:
Steamer — Steamed milk with lots of foam on top. Add your favorite flavor like vanilla, almond or chocolate-raspberry for a relaxing, caffeine-free treat. Watching your calories? A 12-ounce steamer made with fat-free milk and sugar-free syrup has less than 90 calories. For do-it-yourself recipes, check out Dairy Lovers Kitchen.
Latte — Steamed milk with a shot of espresso and a dollop of foamed milk. Make it seasonal with flavors like Irish coffee, pumpkin spice or peppermint.
Cappuccino — Half steamed milk, half frothed milk with a shot of espresso. Ciao!
Café au Lait — Half brewed coffee and half heated milk, with little foam. One sip might almost transport you to New Orleans’s French Quarter.
