Few drinks hit quite like a cold, creamy iced latte on a warm afternoon — or honestly, any time of day. This version keeps things beautifully simple: espresso, whole milk, ice, and a touch of optional sweetness if you want it. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies or sensitivities, coffee shop drinks can be a minefield of flavored syrups, nut milks, and shared equipment you can't always verify. Making it at home means you control every single ingredient that goes into the glass. The layering technique — pouring espresso slowly over the milk — creates that gorgeous café-style gradient before you stir it all together. Whole milk gives it a rich, velvety texture that holds up beautifully against the ice without watering down the coffee flavor. It's the kind of effortless recipe you'll come back to every single morning.
