Xanthan Gum Free Iced Latte
Few drinks hit quite like a cold, creamy iced latte on a warm afternoon, and this one is as clean and simple as it gets. Espresso, whole milk, ice, and an optional touch of simple syrup — that's genuinely all you need. For anyone navigating ingredient sensitivities, coffee shop drinks can be a minefield of unexpected additives and thickeners hiding in syrups and creamers, so making it yourself is a smart move. Whole milk brings a natural richness that needs no help from stabilizers or gums, and the result is a smooth, satisfying sip every single time. 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. Sweeten it lightly with simple syrup or skip it entirely — either way, this is a genuinely fuss-free drink you'll want to make on repeat.
