Iced Latte
It’s another hot Sunday afternoon. Too hot, in fact, to properly enjoy a coffee or cappuccino. An iced, caramel latte sounds like just the refreshing drink to enjoy while watching the Mexico-Argentina game. One of these teams will face Germany in the quarter-finals. Having just watched Argentina score their 3rd goal, it looks like this game is already decided… Kind of like when Germany scored their 4th goal to England’s 1 (sorry… 2) ;o)
Anyway, back to the coffee! I’ve managed to create quite a mess in the kitchen between using the espresso machine, blender, ice box and drink shaker.
Into the shaker: 1 tablespoon of caramel syrup, 7 ounces of cold whole milk, 1.5 ounces of espresso and 6 ice cubes;
Vigourous shake;
Pour into serving glass;
Blend, to thicken, 3 tablespoons of half and half (or whole milk) and pour over top.
See finished pics below.
Reactions: Husband’s friend liked his latte- thought it was quite refreshing on this hot afternoon.
Husband said he didn’t want any because he doesn’t like cold coffee drinks. I gave him a taste of my latte and that was the last I saw of it!
I’ll take that as two happy customers.
