No, an Americano does not have milk.
An Americano is a coffee drink made by diluting espresso with hot water, giving it a similar strength to, but different flavor from, traditionally brewed coffee. The standard recipe comprises espresso and hot water only.
Here's a breakdown:
- What it is: Espresso diluted with hot water.
- What it isn't: It doesn't contain milk, cream, or any other dairy or non-dairy additives.
While some people may choose to add milk to their Americano, that's not how it's traditionally prepared or defined. If milk is added, it is no longer strictly an Americano.
