Latte

Also called: caffe latte, latte, cappuccino, flat white

How Latte affects your doshas

In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.

When to go easy

Espresso in plenty of steamed milk — the milk grounds it, but it still adds to Kapha and stays mildly warming.
