Ingredients:
- 2 shots of espresso
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon of sweetener (sugar, honey, or your preferred alternative)
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional, but highly recommended!)
- Cocoa powder or cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Start by brewing your espresso using a Primula Stovetop Espresso Maker.
2. Once your coffee is ready, grab a tall glass and fill it with ice cubes. Pro tip: If you want to avoid diluting your latte, use coffee ice cubes instead. Simply pour some brewed coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze them ahead of time.
3. Pour the freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee over the ice cubes in the glass. Watch as the steam rises and blends with the cold ice—it's like magic!
4. Next, it's time to add the milk. Slowly pour the milk into the glass, allowing it to mix with the coffee and create a beautiful swirl. Adjust the amount of milk based on your preference for a stronger or milder latte.
5. Add your preferred sweetener to the latte. Stir well to ensure it's evenly distributed. Remember, this is where you can customize the sweetness level to suit your taste buds. Go ahead, make it as sweet or as subtle as you desire.
6. For an extra touch of indulgence, top your iced latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream. This creamy addition adds a delightful texture and enhances the overall experience.
7. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon on top of the whipped cream for an elegant finishing touch.
Not only does it make your latte look Instagram-worthy, but it also adds a subtle hint of flavor. Now that you have the perfect iced latte in hand, take a moment to savor its rich aroma and creamy taste. It's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy this caffeinated masterpiece!
As you take your first sip, you can feel the cooling sensation of the icy latte gently waking up your taste buds. The smooth blend of espresso and milk dances on your palate, leaving behind a trail of delightful flavors. You close your eyes, enjoying the moment of pure bliss as the coffee-infused ice cubes clink against the glass. Ahh, this is what summer dreams are made of!
