Becuz of CafeLattee

Asked for white coffee @LabeneseRestaurant as they do not have cafeLatte' nd surprise!! a plain white water with a cut of lemon, small piece, tiny. It happens quite sometime so had to google to know the difference between my fav cafe latte' or white coffee and the labenese white coffee and this is it ...



"White Coffee" is an herbal tea, invented in Beirut, made with orange blossom water. Traditionally served after meals in Lebanon and Syria, it is often accompanied by candied rose petals, served in tiny, delicate dishes. White coffee is a sedative, and calms the nerves while stimulating digestion after a particularly rich or heavy meal. In Lebanon, orange blossom water is given to fussy babies; it is also used as a perfume, either in the bathwater or directly on the skin. -- and its like a plain water with a piece of lemon cut.. Had it at a Lebanese restaurant. Labanese and Syrian white coffee contains absolutely no coffee..

In many English-speaking countries, "white coffee" is used to refer to regular black coffee that has had milk, cream or "light coffee" or simply "coffee with milk." Cream varieties (often called "creamers" in the U.S.), can be made of dairy milk, corn syrup derivatives, soy, or nut products. Sweeteners used include cane sugar or artificial ingredients.

White coffee should be distinguished from café au lait, in that white coffee uses room temperature milk or other whitener, while café au lait uses heated or steamed milk.

In Malaysia, Ipoh white coffee refers to a drink made from coffee beans roasted in margarine.



my favorite -- thumbs up for Paparich white coffee .. superb, speechless
