Iced latte in Caffe Macchiato
Iced latte using milk, ice cream, ice and espresso.
A couple of weeks ago an iced latte in Caffe Macchiato.
The following week a variant on what I had the previous week.
Then tried a further variant.
Each variant trying to learn and improve upon what we tried before.
The third attempt was by far the best, in both appearance and taste. Needs a little practice to achieve a marbled effect.
The first latte, milk, ice cream, two shots espresso, ice, mixed in a blender, poured into a glass, add a straw.
Second latte, as before, but no sugar. I was not aware before sugar had been added. No sugar a big improvement. The espresso at least ten minutes in a freezer to chill. Add to blender as before, but not the espresso. Pour into the glass, then add the espresso. This should achieve a marbled effect as the espresso is added. It did not, practice required. Then add straw.
A variant would be, and maybe would then result in the marbled effect, put ice in the glass, blend milk and ice cream in the blender, pour into glass, then add two shots of espresso, which has been chilled in freezer for at least ten minutes.
This was best to date. Improvement in taste and appearance. Practice required to perfect the marbled appearance.
