Notes
Make manual espresso: If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a French press.
Shake the syrup each time you use it: The spices may sink to the bottom of the jar.
Change the strength: 1 or 2 espresso shots are common for an iced latte, but use whatever amount you desire.
Top with whipped cream: For the ultimate indulgence.
Use super fresh spices: This makes a major difference to the result.
Stir the latte: It helps to stir the iced latte with a spoon or straw to distribute the syrup evenly.
Froth the milk: For a barista-style touch, froth your milk before adding it to the latte, hot or cold!
