Tips for making the perfect iced latte

Follow these tips to get it just right, as well as trying some fun twists:

• First of all, make an extra-strong brew to offset the dilution once you add ice. Alternatively, try making coffee the night before (or use left-over coffee) and freezing it in ice cube moulds to add when you brew.
• When sweetening iced coffee, cold water makes it hard for the sugar to dissolve so try making a sugar syrup to add to the drink. Or, for extra indulgence, add a dollop of condensed milk or even a scoop of ice cream.
• We also love mixing espresso with tonic water for something spritzy and light.
• For different flavours, trying using plant milks such as coconut and almond – hazelnut is especially delicious – or add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon.
