One of our newfound loves is an iced latte from Starbucks! It's so cool and creamy, with a perfect kick of expresso to wake you up at any time of day! We soon realized that paying close to $4 for a good-sized drink a couple times a week wasn't the way we wanted to be going. So, after watching the baristas to see how they make their delicious drink, we came up with this amazing (if we do say so ourselves) and instant gratification providing homemade latte! It takes about a minute (which is so much shorter than waiting for your name to be called at Starbucks):
Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee
About 1/4 cup water
1 1/2-2 cups milk (any kind you want)
Sweetener (again, any kind you want)
5-6 Ice cubes
(Optional: Half and Half or cream, to taste)
Steps:
1. Mix the coffee into the water and heat in microwave for 30 seconds
2. Place ice cubes into glass and pour hot "expresso" over them.
3. Add milk and sweetener
(4. If you like your lattes extra creamy, add in the half and half or cream!
ENJOY your cold treat! Though the weather is getting cold here, we're sure we'll be making these way into fall!
