About Meia de leite
Meia de Leite, a staple of Portuguese cuisine, is a comforting coffee-based beverage made by combining equal parts of espresso and steamed milk. Its name translates to "half milk," reflecting its balanced composition. Popular in cafés across Portugal, it offers a smooth and creamy alternative to stronger coffee preparations. The drink’s nutritional profile varies depending on the type of milk used. Traditional whole milk adds richness and a source of calcium and vitamin D, but it also increases saturated fat content. Health-conscious variations, such as skim or plant-based milk, can reduce calories and fat while maintaining its creamy texture. For those watching sugar intake, it's best served without added sweeteners. Meia de Leite is enjoyed for its nourishing simplicity but should be consumed in moderation for those sensitive to caffeine or seeking lower-fat options. Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon break, it embodies the warmth of Portuguese coffee culture.
