marshmallow latte


I must now share with you another strange variation of the caffe latte, experienced at a cafe on a recent trip to Brisbane. I call this the Marshmallow latte.

It was served in a larger than average glass and sitting on top was a mountainous ball of foam that rose like a giant white marshmallow over the rim of the glass. Sitting in the middle of this white mass was a mysterious brown nipple-like spot where it would appear extra coffee was poured later through the centre of the white foam mound.

My first sip came as a shock as due to the protrusion of the foam over the top of the glass, it had become cold and unpalatable. The scorching coffee that made its way through this thick white mass was watery and weak. A truly forgettable latte experience!
