Recipe

Iced Latte

Espresso, cold milk, ice. Summer in a glass.

Ingredients

Espresso

36 g

Cold milk

200 ml

Ice

Large cubes

Equipment

• Espresso machine
• Tall glass (300+ ml)
• Large ice cubes (silicone tray makes the best clear cubes)

Step-by-step method

1. 1

   Fill a tall 300 ml glass to the brim with large ice cubes (large = melts slower = no watery drink).

2. 2

   Pour 200 ml of cold whole milk over the ice, leaving 4 cm of headspace at the top.

3. 3

   Pull a 36 g double espresso directly into a small jug or shot glass.

4. 4

   Pour the hot espresso slowly over the back of a spoon onto the ice — this layers the drink with espresso floating on top of milk for a beautiful gradient.

5. 5

   Stir before drinking, or sip layered for a stronger first taste.

6. 6

   Optional: add 10–15 ml of simple syrup or vanilla syrup for sweetness — stir into the milk before pouring espresso.
