How do you make a latte? And is there a reliable resource for learning how to make a drink that's readily available? (I don't fully trust everything I google.)

Cafes can have their own special spins but in essence a latte is your espresso, steamed milk, and a small layer of milk foam on top. Any flavors you add go in first or between the espresso and steamed milk.

I'd try any recipe/directions you find on a cafe website. Or just walk into a cafe on a slow day and ask a barista. I'm sure you could find one nice enough to show you. A lot of us love chatting with customers. And you might even make a new friend :)

Japan, too. They're either drawing teddy bears in the foam or adding hot water to nescafe.

Do chai lattes have espresso in them then?

Nope! Chai lattes are just your chai tea brewed with steamed milk, although depending on the cafe they might be using a sweetened chai powder over a tea bag/leaves.

Tea lattes generally don't have espresso unless you ask for it if that's your thing.

What they're thinking of is a DIRTY chai latte ^^

Nope; in a chai latte, the espresso is replaced with chai tea. 'Latte' means 'milk' in Italian and so refers to the milk in the beverage.

Apparently it's a common tourist's mistake to order a "latte" and, of course, be served a glass of milk rather than the caffè latte you wanted. =)

Catching up on fandom secrets so comment is old, but this explains so much why I always get asked to clarify if I want a cafe latte or a latte. I even worked as a barista for a few years and this just went right over my head until your comment.
