☕ The perfect Iced Latte at home – with La Barista
Summer time is iced coffee time! Whether you like your coffee creamy, sweet, or strong – we'll show you how to create your perfect Iced Latte, Iced Cappuccino, or even a summery Iced Flat White at home with simple means – almost like in your favorite café.
🧊 The base: ice cubes & milk
Let's start with the foundation of every cold coffee:
-
Glass size: approx. 300–350 ml
-
Ice cubes: add 3–4 pieces to the glass
Milk choice according to taste:
-
Oat milk: preferably the Barista Edition – perfect for frothing
-
Cow's milk: preferably 3.5% fat or higher for a creamy taste and ideal protein content
💡 Pro tip: Froth your cold milk lightly beforehand! This gives your drink more volume and a creamy texture – almost like a frappe.
We recommend the NanoFoamer by Subminimal, with different sieves for individual microfoam – also ideal for cold drinks.
☕ Espresso – the heart piece
For an authentic taste you need espresso that stands out:
