Iced Latte
The perfect drink for a hot day, the Iced Latte is a refreshing blend of cold milk, bold espresso, and ice. It's the cool, creamy counterpart to the classic hot latte and a staple in any successful coffee shop.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Grab a Large Glass & Add Ice:
- All cold drinks must be served in a Large Glass.
- Start by adding two scoops of Ice Cubes to the glass. This is the foundation for a perfectly chilled drink.
-
Pour the Cold Milk:
- Next, pour cold Whole Milk directly over the ice.
- Fill the glass about two-thirds full, leaving enough space for the espresso shot.
-
Top with Espresso:
- Brew a fresh, hot shot of Espresso.
- Pour the espresso shot slowly over the top of the milk and ice. This will create the beautiful, iconic layers of an Iced Latte.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- The drink is now complete. Serve it immediately to the customer while it's cold and refreshing.
The Perfect Chill Guide
Key to Success:
- Order is crucial: Always build the drink in this order: Ice, then Milk, then Espresso. This creates the layers and ensures proper cooling.
- Use a Large Glass: Serving an iced drink in a coffee cup is a common mistake. Always use a glass.
- Don't Steam the Milk: This is an *iced* latte. The milk should be cold, straight from the fridge.
- Fresh Espresso: Pouring the hot espresso over the cold milk is what makes the drink special.
