Coffee drinks can be surprisingly tricky territory when you're avoiding legumes, since some flavored syrups, creamers, and café add-ins sneak in unexpected ingredients. This one keeps things beautifully simple — just espresso, whole milk, ice, and an optional touch of simple syrup if you like a hint of sweetness. The result is a smooth, creamy, café-quality drink you can pull together at home in minutes. Pouring the espresso slowly over the milk creates that gorgeous layered effect before you stir it all together, which makes it feel a little fancy even on a Tuesday morning. Whole milk gives it that rich, velvety body that makes every sip satisfying without needing any extras. It's the kind of drink that makes you wonder why you ever paid five dollars for one down the street.
