Decoration and Toppings Guide
Key to Success:
- Toppings are Mandatory: Unlike a simple latte, the Whipped Cream and Strawberry Slices are required parts of this recipe. Forgetting them will fail the order.
- Cold Milk is Correct: Even though it's a complex drink, the milk should be cold, not steamed.
- Build from the Bottom Up: The order of ingredients matters: Syrup, Milk, Espresso, then Toppings.
- Large Glass Only: This is a cold, decorated drink and must be served in a Large Glass.
