Tag: Starbucks latte sugar

A standard grande Starbucks Caffe Latte made with 2% milk contains 18 grams of sugar according to Starbucks nutrition information, which raises questions about the drink's composition. The key question is whether this sugar is added or naturally present.

A standard 16-ounce hot latte made with 2% milk contains approximately 18 grams of naturally occurring milk sugar (lactose), even without any added syrups. This might be a surprise for those who perceive a plain latte as a sugar-free beverage, highlighting that milk is the primary source of sugar in a hot latte.
