Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Start with a Large Glass:
- All iced drinks require a Large Glass.
- Add two scoops of Ice Cubes to the glass to begin the chilling process.
-
Add Strawberry Syrup:
- Pump four squirts of Strawberry Syrup directly into the glass over the ice. This sweet base is key.
-
Pour Cold Milk:
- Fill the glass about two-thirds full with cold Whole Milk. Do not steam the milk for this recipe.
-
Top with Espresso:
- Brew a fresh, hot shot of Espresso and pour it slowly over the top of the milk. This creates the appealing layered look.
- Serve immediately to the customer.
Iced Drink Layering Guide
Key to Success:
- Correct Order: The build order is vital for this drink: Ice, Syrup, Milk, then Espresso on top.
- Cold Milk Only: Never use steamed milk for an iced latte. It will melt the ice and ruin the drink.
- Use a Large Glass: Serving an iced drink in a small cup is incorrect and will result in a failed order.
- Pump Accuracy: Use exactly four pumps of syrup to match the customer's expectation.

- Layering is Key: The visual appeal of the layers is important. Pour the espresso shot gently to avoid mixing it in immediately.
- Speed Matters: Iced drinks should be served quickly before the ice melts and dilutes the flavor.
