Iced Floral Drink Guide
Key to Success:
- Correct Build Order: The sequence is vital for this drink: Ice, Syrup, Milk, and Espresso on top.
- Cold Milk is Essential: Never use steamed milk for an iced latte. It will melt the ice and create a lukewarm, failed drink.
- Large Glass Only: Customers expect their iced drinks in a tall glass.
- Premium Price: Lavender is your most expensive syrup, so this is a high-value drink. Ensure your pricing reflects this.

Pro Barista Tips
- A Unique Offering: The Iced Lavender Latte is a unique menu item that sets your cafe apart from more basic shops.
- Visual Appeal: The subtle purple hue from the syrup at the bottom of the glass makes for a very attractive, layered drink. Pour the espresso slowly to maximize this effect.
- No Toppings Needed: The standard recipe is complete as is. Don't add whipped cream or other garnishes.
- Listen Carefully: Pay close attention to whether the customer says "iced" or not, as the hot and cold versions are two distinct, popular recipes.
