Here is a quick way to make Iced Latte, Americano and Cappuccino at Home
Have you been craving a coffee shop pick-me-up but stuck at home? No worries! Here’s how to whip up your favourite iced latte, americano, or cappuccino with just a few ingredients.
Iced Latte
Think creamy coffee on ice. Here’s what you’ll need:
Strong Coffee (30ml or 1/2 cup): Espresso is ideal, but strong brewed coffee works too (double your usual grounds). Brew it strong and let it cool completely.
Milk (1/2 cup): Whole milk for richness, skim for lighter, or your favourite non-dairy alternative.
Ice: Lots of ice! Fill your glass.
Sweetener (Optional): Sugar, syrup, whatever tickles your taste buds.
Instructions
1. Coffee: Got espresso? Pull a shot. Using strong brewed coffee? Perfect!
2. Ice It Up: Fill your glass with ice.
3. Coffee In; Pour the cooled coffee over the ice.
4. Milk: Top it off with your chosen milk.
5. Sweeten Up (Optional):Add your favourite sweetener to taste.
6. Sip and Smile: Stir it all together and enjoy your cool coffee creation!
Americano
This is basically strong coffee diluted with hot water. Here’s what you need:
Espresso (1 shot or 30ml): Pull a fresh shot if you have an espresso machine.
Hot Water: This is your strength control!
Instructions:
1.Espresso Shot: Pull that shot of espresso!
2. Water It Down: Add hot water to dilute the espresso to your preferred strength. Traditionally, it’s a 1:2 ratio (espresso to water).
3. Enjoy! Add a splash of milk or sweetener if you like it a little different.
Cappuccino
This one’s got a bit more froth! Here’s what you’ll need:
Espresso (1 shot or 30ml): Pull a shot of espresso, nice and fresh.
Steamed Milk (1/2 cup): Aim for smooth, microfoam texture (a handheld frother can help, but not required).
Milk Foam (Optional, 1/4 cup): This is the fluffy topping!
Instructions:
1. Espresso Time: Pull your shot of espresso.
2. Steam It Up: Steam your milk to create that smooth microfoam.
3. Coffee Base:Pour the espresso into your cup.
4. Milk Magic: Gently pour the steamed milk over the espresso.
5. Foam Fun (Optional):Spoon a layer of the milk foam on top for that classic cappuccino look.
