Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make an Iced Latte at Home

Using our specialty instant espresso, follow these easy steps to make a cafe-quality iced latte at home, without an espresso machine.

Step 1: Grab a sachet of Instant Espresso

Each sachet of our instant espresso is perfectly portioned for one double shot of espresso. All you need to do is empty the freeze dried espresso into a vessel that you can add water to, like a small bowl, glass, or measuring cup.

Step 2: Add hot water, and stir to create espresso

We recommend using a water temperature around 204°F for the best results, but just off the boil is fine too. Add about 2oz of hot water (use less water for a more intense shot, or more for a more mellow one) and give it a nice stir to make sure all of the instant espresso is rehydrated.

Step 3: Choose your milk, and add to a glass with ice

The best milk for a latte is whatever your favorite is, so just grab it, and fill your glass to the desired volume of milk (less milk will create a more coffee-forward flavor profile, and more milk will smooth out the espresso taste). Make sure you use plenty of ice!

Step 4: Add instant espresso to the glass

Pour your freshly made instant espresso over your chilled milk, and you've done it! You can let the espresso stay layered on top, or you can stir it all to combine — whatever you prefer.

Step 5: Enjoy!

In as much time as it takes you to heat up water, you can enjoy a home made iced latte with instant espresso. With our easy-to-use Instant Espresso, crafting delicious coffee drinks at home or on the move is effortless. Stock up on a few boxes to ensure you're always ready to make the perfect iced latte at home.
