• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 2

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Identify the ingredients. A latte is made of milk and espresso.

1. Ignore the bubble tea. The bubble tea is a tempting drink but not what a latte requires.

1. Combine them. Drag the espresso cup into the milk carton (or vice versa) to merge them.

1. It becomes a latte. Milk plus espresso makes a latte. The boy drinks it and is energized. The "Milk Espresso = Latte" result appears.

Strategy & Reasoning

A latte is made of espresso and milk. Combining the milk carton with the espresso creates the latte he needs.

The bubble tea is a tempting drink option, but it is not what the request specifies. The word "latte" literally means espresso mixed with steamed milk, so the two correct ingredients are the milk carton and the small espresso cup. Fusing those two items produces the latte, which caffeinates the tired boy. The bubble tea remains unused.

Why combine milk and espresso? The tired boy needs a latte, and by definition a latte is espresso mixed with milk. The three items on offer are a milk carton, a small espresso cup, and a bubble tea. The bubble tea looks like a drink, but it is not a latte and is the decoy. Fusing the milk and the espresso cup creates the latte he needs, which caffeinates him. The result line "Milk Espresso = Latte" spells out the recipe, so the correct two ingredients are obvious once you remember what a latte is made of.

A latte is not a random drink; by definition it is espresso mixed with milk. The three items on the counter include a bubble tea, which looks like a tempting beverage but is the decoy because it is not a latte. Combining the milk carton with the small espresso cup is the recipe. Fusing those two together produces the milky coffee the tired boy needs to recharge. The closing line literally writes out the equation milk plus espresso equals latte, so once you remember the ingredients, the correct two items are obvious.

Combine the milk carton with the espresso cup; the bubble tea is the decoy. That mixture is the latte.

The milky coffee appears as soon as the two ingredients are combined.

The bubble tea looks like the tempting drink, but it is neither espresso nor milk, so blending it would not make the latte the exhausted boy needs.
