Heatwave in UK is actually baking part of us!! I really mean it.. As I mentioned in my Instagram post - "If were an Egg, it will take me just over a minute to turn into a single fry!! Well that's how I describe this scorching hot weather." Hope you guys are staying Hydrated!!
We certainly are indulging in Smoothies, Iced Latte, Frappuccino, Peanut Butter milkshake, Oreo Milkshake and what not!!
What is ICED LATTE?
Iced Latte is a chilled Latte with layers of Ice, Cold Rich Espresso shot, Milk and a thin layer of Foamed Milk. Adding a sweetener is totally to one's liking!
Is there a difference between LATTE & CAPPUCCINO?
In layman's terms, there is a subtle difference between the two. Former has got more milk and a gentle layer of foamed milk whilst later ( Cappuccino ) has got less milk and an airy thick layer of foamed milk.
No espresso drink comparison would be actually complete without cappuccino and latte.
Do I actually add Steamed Milk to my Espresso topped with Ice in an ICED LATTE?
No ..Not at all:) The recipe to make this Iced Latte is really simple. Make your Rich Espresso shots and allow it to cool down. In a tall glass filled with ice cubes, add the rich espresso, cold milk and cold foam 🙂 Sweeten it with Maple Syrup, Brown Sugar or even Vanilla Syrup.
Well there are TWO WAYS TO ACHIEVE COLD FOAM!
First Method to achieve cold foam to make it without a gadget is using a Good Old Mason Jar!! Add lots of Ice, Cold Milk as desired to a Mason Jar. Seal it tight. Shake it vigorously until foam is achieved.
Second Method - Melitta Cremio allows you foam the cold milk with a push of a button. Until I was recently sent one for review, I really couldn't believe how simple it can be. Read all about it after the recipe post below.
