- 2 shots freshly brewed espresso (approx. 60ml)
Latte Ingredients- Plenty of fresh ice cubes
- 120ml cold milk (approx. 1/2 cup)
Sweet Topping Ingredients- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
- A pinch of cocoa powder (to taste)
- 1 Lotus biscuit (for garnish)
- Plenty of fresh ice cubes
- 120ml cold milk (approx. 1/2 cup)
Sweet Topping Ingredients- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
- A pinch of cocoa powder (to taste)
- 1 Lotus biscuit (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by adding 20g of sweet Lotus jam into a shot glass. Then, carefully pour 2 shots of freshly brewed espresso over the jam. The deep aroma of the espresso will mingle with the Lotus jam to create a wonderfully flavorful base.
Step 2
Using a teaspoon, gently stir the Lotus jam and espresso together in the shot glass until the jam is completely dissolved. Ensuring the jam is smoothly incorporated will help distribute the rich Lotus flavor throughout the entire latte.
Step 3
Now, prepare your serving glass, preferably a clear one to showcase the layers. Fill the glass generously with fresh ice cubes. Using plenty of ice will ensure your latte stays refreshingly cold.
Step 4
Slowly pour 120ml of cold milk over the ice. The creamy, mild flavor of the milk forms the smooth foundation of your latte.
Step 5
Gently and slowly pour the prepared Lotus base (the mixture of Lotus jam and espresso) over the ice and milk. Pouring it carefully will create beautiful, distinct layers within the drink.
Step 6
Place a generous scoop of cold, creamy vanilla ice cream right on top of the Lotus base. As the ice cream melts, it will blend with the latte, adding an extra layer of decadent flavor and texture.
Step 7
Finally, lightly dust the top of the ice cream with cocoa powder. You can use a sieve for an even sprinkle or just a tiny pinch from a spoon. The subtle cocoa notes will beautifully complement the sweetness of the Lotus and vanilla.
Step 8
Add the signature touch to your Lotus Summer Latte! Gently place one whole Lotus biscuit in front of the ice cream scoop for a lovely garnish. You can also crumble the biscuit and stir it into the drink for added texture.
Step 9
Your delicious and visually appealing Lotus Summer Latte is now complete! Enjoy this delightful, refreshing treat right away.
