Start by brewing a shot or two of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use strongly brewed coffee instead. Allow the espresso or coffee to cool down for a few minutes before proceeding to the next step.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
Pour your freshly brewed and cooled espresso or coffee over the ice.
Next, pour your chilled milk over the espresso and ice.
Stir in sweetener if using.
Notes
You can choose to sweeten an iced latte if you want. This is how you could make it an iced vanilla latte or another flavor.
The amount of ice you use will depend on your preference for a stronger or more diluted iced latte. More ice will result in a milder drink, while less ice will preserve the full coffee flavor.
If you want a frothy, foamy iced latte, you can froth the cold milk using a frothing wand or whisk to incorporate air before pouring into your drink.
Any percentage of dairy milk will work great in this recipe. You could also choose to use a milk alternative like soy, oat, or almond.
