What Is a Spanish Latte?

A Spanish latte is a creamy espresso drink made with espresso shots + steamed milk + sweetened condensed milk, giving it a smoother, sweeter flavor than a regular latte. Served hot or iced, it’s one of the most popular beverages in Middle Eastern-style cafés — beloved for its balanced sweetness and rich coffee taste.
