How to make an iced strawberry latte
To make a strawberry ice latte, start by making a quick strawberry syrup by cooking fresh or frozen strawberries with white sugar. Once the consistency becomes jammy, remove it from the heat and add 1/2 of it to a glass. Add ice cubes and cold coffee, and top it off with your choice of coffee cream.
What kind of coffee do you use to make iced lattes?
Typically, iced lattes are made with espresso shots. If you don’t have an espresso maker, you can use any type of strong coffee. Just make it beforehand and chill it. Or, make cold brew coffee, which is what I prefer to use.
Does strawberry go with coffee?
