Hey all,
I was a barista many, maaaaany years ago. Now I just drink the stuff.
So believe it or not, iced coffee has only recently taken off here in New Zealand. Crazy, right?!
I've become a big fan of iced latte with oat milk. On a hot day, it really hits the spot.
Thing is, standards and procedures are still very varied across various cafes. Eg, a lukewarm coffee with a couple of ice cubes floating in it is an all-too-common crime against all good things.
The process I think works best is: fill the cup with ice. Add (preferably cold milk), then, and only then, pull the shot. That gives the milk time to get really nice and cold before the shot hits.
This seems most logical to me, but I just wanted to check with the professionals in case there's a better way of doing it.
Thanks very much! 😊
