Tip

It is important to brew a strong shot of espresso that will pair well with the milky base. You can use different methods like an espresso machine, a stovetop mocha pot, or even instant coffee or French press, although you need to make this a lot stronger than usual to get the same intense espresso flavour.

Questions about lactose-free latte macchiato

Looking for a smooth and satisfying coffee fix? Look no further! This lactose-free take on the classic drink is exactly what you need, and you can read more about it below.

What is a lactose-free latte macchiato?
Our lactose-free latte macchiato is a coffee drink that is all about layers. In Italian, the word ‘macchiato’ translates to ‘stained’ or ‘marked’, which perfectly describes how the espresso marks or stains the milky base. The result is a delicious-looking drink with three distinct layers – creamy steamed milk at the bottom, a rich stream of dark espresso forming the middle layer, and a fluffy foam layer at the top.
How to make foam for a lactose-free latte macchiato?
To create a smooth foam with steamed milk, you have a few options: a milk frother, a handheld frother, also known as a frothing wand, or a steam wand on an espresso machine. However, if you do not have any of these tools available, do not worry! You can easily achieve a velvety foam using just a whisk or shaking it in a jar.
What is the difference between a lactose-free latte and a latte macchiato?
The main difference between is how the ingredients are layered and the ratio of espresso to milk. In a latte, the espresso shot is followed by steamed lactose-free milk, highlighting milk as the main flavour. In macchiato, you add first steamed milk and foam, then slowly a shot of espresso, creating distinct layers of milk, espresso, and foam with a more pronounced espresso flavour.
