Step-by-Step Procedure
Phase 1: Cold Foam Preparation
In a small frothing cup, combine the cold foam ingredients and froth with a handheld milk frother for 20–30 seconds until thick and airy. Set aside.
Phase 2: Glass Staging & Ice Base
Fill your serving glass with ice cubes, then pour in cold milk.
Phase 3: Coffee Extraction & Pour
Brew 1 Double Espresso pod into a small cup or directly over ice to chill quickly, then pour gently over the iced milk.
Phase 4: Crown & Garnish
Spoon the prepared cold foam from Phase 1 over the top of the iced latte.
Finish with a dusting of sugar.
Whip the cold foam first so it forms a stable, airy head before pouring espresso over ice.
