Top Tips for making iced strawberry latte

• If you can, choose good quality fresh espresso beans and grind them just before you need to use them. Otherwise, use the best and freshest coffee you can.
• Brew 1-2 shots of espresso, or 1/3 cup strong coffee. Leave it to cool so that it does not immediately melt the ice - that will only add water which weakens the coffee.
• While the espresso is cooling, pour the cold milk into a jug.
• You can use whatever milk you prefer. If you like dairy milk, check out my review of the best dairy milks. Otherwise, I have a great review of the best non-dairy milks you can use.
• Add any sugar and vanilla extract to the milk and stir in.
• Use a frother or blender (or even a hand whisk or French Press) to foam the milk.
• Select juicy, ripe strawberries for optimal flavor and make sure you have enough to both blend into the frothed milk and to slice up to use as a topping for your latte.
• Finely chop, or mash 3 ripe strawberries and fold them through the foamed milk. Remember to hold back one of the bigger ripest strawberries.
• Pour the espresso into a latte glass, then gently pour in the milk. Hold back the foam to gently layer on top.
• You can stop there, perhaps dusting the top with some chocolate powder and adding a slice of strawberry.
• For the ultimate luxury experience, add a spoon of whipped cream to the top. Better yet, pipe the cream. Then finish with a slice of strawberry.
• Serve chilled and enjoy!
