Ice latte: how to make cold invigorating coffee?

There are a huge number of people in the world who cannot spend their day even without a cup of good coffee, but what to do in the hot season, when there is absolutely no desire to drink something hot? In this case, the situation is able to save the gentle, fragrant, and most importantly, refreshing Ice latte.

There are quite a few cases in our history when gastronomic legends were discovered completely by chance, and this is what happened with our drink. The drink itself originated from a well-known latte coffee in one of the small cities of Italy. And as it is easy to guess, it happened on a hot summer day, when an Italian who couldn’t imagine his life without coffee, randomly dropped several ice slices into a mug of coffee and as a result received a drink that saved him from the hottest days in Italy. Soon this idea was picked up by the French, the Germans, but it was especially fond of the Russians.

For making Ice lattes, not simple dishes, but tall glasses or glasses (ceramic or glass) are used. This tradition is related to the fact that during the preparation of the latte it was “stacked” in layers, thus giving the drink a more presentable look, but this did not affect the taste.

The composition of this at most ice drink is quite simple. The following ingredients are needed:

• 100 ml of milk;
• 60 ml espresso;
• 8 ice cubes;
• syrup.

Separately, it is worth noting syrups, because often they give the drink an unusual taste.

There are two ways to make Ice latte - manual and mechanical. Consider both ways in more detail.

First of all, we take a special glass (if to put it more professionally, an Irish-glass). Then it is necessary to pour milk into a separate dish and boil it, and then put it to cool. One of the most important elements of Ice Latte is strong coffee or espresso. For its preparation you will need two tablespoons of coffee, which should then be poured with boiling water.

We do the same with espresso as with milk (we boil it and send it to cool). Then in our capacity we fill in already cooled milk. To taste, we can add all sorts of syrups (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, coconut, and so on), but the main thing is not to overdo it, so as not to spoil the taste. Then we take out the forms with people and add two cubes (you can make the drink colder if you add more ice). At the end, pour the cooled coffee.

Thus, we have finished making Ice latte and are ready to serve it to the table, but all the mixing processes that are included in the preparation take a lot of time, especially if you are preparing for a big company. And to save their own time and energy, there is another way - mechanical.

The cooking technique is similar to the one we presented above, but differs in the moment of mixing all the components. We mix in the blender the amount that we need. Thus, we facilitate the task. After all, cooking for one person and preparing for one is much easier than for five people. The main thing is to calculate the proportions correctly, and then you will get a wonderful drink that will save you from the tiresome heat.

Typically, for coffee use a classic serve with a saucer and a napkin, but for a cold drink it will not be as relevant and presentable. And so the best way Irish glass with a straw.

Everything we eat has its caloric value, and our Ice Late is no exception. On average, one glass has:

• 3.4 grams of proteins;
• 3.8 grams of fat;
• 12.5 grams of carbohydrates.

Caloric content of the drink is about 98 Kcal per serving.
