Tres Leches Latte
Immerse yourself in the luxurious blend of a Tres Leches Latte, a drinkable form of the classic Latin American dessert. This warm, creamy latte combines the richness of three milks - evaporated, condensed, and whole - with the robustness of espresso, all enveloped in a cloud of whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon. It's a sweet, indulgent treat that's perfect for a cozy afternoon.
