An iced latte is a cold coffee beverage that consists of espresso or strong brewed coffee and chilled milk, served over ice. The name "latte" is derived from the Italian caffè latte, which means "milk coffee."
– 1-2 shots of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee, cooled – 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy) – Ice cube – Sweetener (sugar, syrup, etc.), (optional)
Brew the Espresso or Coffee: – If you have an espresso machine, brew 1-2 shots of espresso. – If you don't have an espresso machine, you can brew strong coffee using a method like a French press or a Moka pot. Brew about 1/2 cup of strong coffee.
Let it Cool: Allow the espresso or coffee to cool down to room temperature. You can also refrigerate it to speed up the cooling process.
Prepare the Milk: – In a separate glass, add ice cubes. – Pour 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy) over the ice cubes. You can use whole milk, skim milk, almond milk, soy milk, or any other milk you prefer.
Add the Espresso or Coffee: Once the espresso or coffee has cooled, pour it over the milk and ice in the glass. Sweeten (Optional): If you like your iced latte sweetened, you can add sugar, flavored syrup, honey, or any other sweetener.
Stir and Serve: Gently stir the mixture to combine the espresso or coffee with the milk and sweetener. Enjoy: – Your iced latte is now ready to enjoy! You can use a straw or a long spoon to mix the flavors as you sip.
