Sesame Free Iced Latte
Coffee shop drinks can be a minefield when you're avoiding certain allergens, but this one is refreshingly straightforward. Made with just espresso, whole milk, ice, and an optional touch of simple syrup, there's nothing hidden in the ingredient list and nothing to second-guess. The technique of pouring the espresso slowly over the milk creates that gorgeous layered effect before you stir it all together — it looks like something you'd pay six dollars for at a café counter. Whole milk gives the drink a creamy, full-bodied richness that balances the bold espresso beautifully. Whether you use an espresso machine or a stovetop moka pot, the result is a smooth, cold, deeply satisfying drink that comes together in minutes. Keep a bottle of simple syrup on hand if you like a little sweetness, or skip it entirely and let the espresso shine on its own.
