While an iced latte looks fairly easy to make, it’s super easy to mess up. Your beverage can be too watery, too weak, coffee split into weird layers, and much more. To make a cafe-style iced latte, follow these tips.
While espresso is the ideal choice, if you don’t have a coffee machine, you can use strong cold brew concentrate.
Don’t pour hot espresso straight over the ice. Let it cool down for a few minutes and then add ice or milk.
Whole milk is the classic choice, but it can be a little heavy. So, try adding oat milk froth or coconut milk and switch as per your mood.
Granulated sugar won’t dissolve in cold milk. So, make simple syrup to get an evenly sweetened iced latte.
Mix simple syrup with milk, then pour espresso on top for a layered look like your favourite coffee shop.
