Tips & Variations

- If you don’t have a hand frother, shake the espresso mixture (without ice and milk) in a jar or mason jar before adding it to the iced milk.
- Substitute vanilla extract if you don’t have vanilla bean paste using the same amount.
- Use Nespresso, instant espresso, or dark roast coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine.
- Create a dairy-free latte by using oat, almond, or soy milk.
- For a hot version, steam the milk and skip the ice.
Storage
