What is an iced espresso at Starbucks?
If you’ve seen the iced shaken espresso on the Starbucks menu and wondered what it is, you’ve come to the right place. An iced shaken espresso is honestly exactly what it sounds like: Espresso is shaken with ice and optional flavored syrups, then topped with your choice of milk. Put simply, an iced latte is made with espresso and milk, whilst an iced coffee is made with brewed coffee and can be served with or without milk. Let’s delve into five key points of comparison.
How do you make iced espresso at home?
Try this yourself – try brewing espresso right onto ice, stir it vigorously, and drink. Then brew espresso into a chilled glass, stir it, then add ice and stir again and taste. Or add a step – the steel milk frothing pitcher, which will leach away heat, then add to a chilled glass. The reason why people sometimes assume more caffeine in the espresso than the latte is because with the milk mixing with the espresso, the flavor tends to be a lot more lighter and a lot more balanced in comparison to it being stronger with an espresso.While espresso tends to be gentler on the stomach than drip coffee due to its smaller volume and shorter acid exposure time, the best coffee choice depends on your personal factors and habits.
