Does a latte always have to coffee?

No, a latte doesn't *always* have to have coffee. While it's the most common base, you can find variations like:

* Golden Latte: Made with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and milk.

* Chai Latte: Made with black tea, spices, and milk.

* Matcha Latte: Made with green tea powder, milk, and sugar.

So, while the classic latte is a coffee-based drink, there are many delicious alternatives that don't use coffee at all.
