How to Make a Café-Style Iced Latte at Home
A proper iced latte is crisp, smooth, and perfectly balanced. With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy a café-quality version at home.
What You’ll Need:
-
Freshly brewed double espresso shot
-
Ice cubes (lots of them)
-
Milk of choice (full-fat, oat, almond—whatever suits your taste)
-
A tall glass
The Method:
-
Fill Your Glass with Ice Use plenty of ice to keep your drink cold and refreshing.
-
Pour in the Milk Add your preferred milk over the ice, leaving space for the espresso. This helps create a smooth blend.
-
Brew Your Espresso Using freshly ground coffee, pull a double shot of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, a Moka pot or Aeropress will work—just aim for a strong, concentrated coffee base.
-
Pour the Espresso Over the Milk and Ice The contrast of hot espresso meeting cold milk creates a beautifully layered effect. Stir if you prefer a more integrated flavour.
Tips for the Perfect Iced Latte:
-
Use high-quality coffee beans – A well-balanced espresso makes all the difference.
-
Adjust the milk ratio – Tailor it to your taste for the perfect balance of coffee and creaminess.
Just how an iced latte should be.
