misto

Half and half

Misto is a coffee drink made with equal parts brewed coffee and steamed milk—essentially a café au lait made with steamed rather than heated milk.

The term comes from Italian for "mixed." At Starbucks and similar chains, ordering a caffè misto gets you this half-and-half preparation, milder than a latte but with more body than black coffee.
