Refreshing Summer Latte
How to Make a Delicious and Refreshing Summer Latte (Ice Cream Latte) at Home
As the warmer weather begins, don’t you crave a perfectly refreshing drink? That’s exactly why I decided to create this Summer Latte! It’s incredibly easy to make, combining the cool kick of espresso with creamy ice cream. This summer, beat the heat by whipping up your own delightful Summer Latte at home. You’ll love how simple and satisfying it is! ^^
Ingredients- 3 small scoops of vanilla ice cream
- 1 to 2 shots of espresso (adjust to your preference)
- Ice (filling about 2/3 of the glass)
- 100ml to 150ml of milk
- A pinch of cinnamon powder (optional)
- A pinch of cocoa powder (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by filling your serving glass about two-thirds full with ice. Leave some space at the top, as you’ll be adding ice cream later.
Step 2
Pour in 100ml to 150ml of milk. I used about 100ml, but you can adjust this based on the strength of your espresso and your personal preference. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use less milk; for a creamier taste, use more.
Step 3
Add 1 shot of espresso. If you enjoy a bolder coffee flavor, feel free to add a second shot. At this point, you have a lovely café latte! For those who love extra sweetness, a little vanilla syrup can be added here to enhance the sweet latte experience. ^^
Step 4
Now for the star of the show! Gently place 3 small scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of the coffee mixture. Using a small scoop, like one used for rice, is perfect here. The ice cream will slowly melt, creating a wonderfully rich and smooth texture with the coffee.
Step 5
Finally, dust a pinch of cinnamon powder and cocoa powder over the ice cream. This adds a lovely aromatic touch and a hint of pleasant bitterness that complements the sweetness. If you don’t have these powders, don’t worry, you can skip this step. Enjoy your delicious, homemade Summer Latte!
