    Notes on this recipe

    • Best served immediately.
    • If your coffee hasn't dissolved when you added the warm water, add a small amount of boiling water to help the coffee dissolve.
    • If you prefer a less creamy latte (similar to a cold brew), substitute some of the milk for cold filtered water.

    FAQ

    Which instant coffee is best for making iced lattes?

    I like Nescafe instant coffee the best as the granules easily dissolve in water and the flavour is less cardboard-y than other brands.

    Can I add sugar or flavoured syrups to my iced latte?

    Yes! Add them to the coffee before adding the ice. If using sugar, I recommend dissolving the coffee in slightly warmer water to ensure the sugar also dissolves. You can also sweeten your iced lattes with maple syrup or honey.

    How do I make a vegan iced latte?

    To make a vegan iced latte, prepare the coffee and ice then add your favourite dairy-free milk! You can use any plant milk of your choosing, but my top two favourites are hazelnut milk and vanilla-flavoured soy.

    If you like iced lattes, you love my iced matcha latte recipe too!
