Ingredients

  • 2 shots espresso, chilled — about 2 ounces total; or use strong brewed coffee
  • 1/4 cup cold brew concentrate — optional substitute; dilute to taste if using
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk — barista-style preferred for extra creaminess
  • 1–2 teaspoons zero-calorie sweetener — liquid stevia/monk fruit or allulose; adjust to taste
  • 1/4–1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt — optional, brightens flavor
  • 1 1/2–2 cups ice cubes — large cubes melt slower
  • 1 dash ground cinnamon or unsweetened cocoa powder — for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream — optional for extra richness; adds carbs/calories
  • 1 scoop unflavored collagen peptides — optional protein; dissolves well cold
  • 1–2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk — optional alternative for creaminess

Instructions

  1. Pull two shots of espresso or prepare very strong coffee/cold brew concentrate, then let it cool completely.
  2. Fill a tall glass three-quarters full with large ice cubes.
  3. Pour the chilled espresso or strong coffee over the ice.
  4. Stir in the sweetener and vanilla; if using granulated sweetener, stir vigorously until fully dissolved.
  5. Slowly pour in the unsweetened almond milk to your preferred strength (about half coffee, half milk is balanced).
  6. Add a tiny pinch of salt to brighten flavors and reduce bitterness, if desired.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or ice, then finish with a dusting of cinnamon or cocoa if you like.
  8. For extra creaminess, stir in heavy cream or a splash of unsweetened coconut milk; collagen can be added and stirred to dissolve.
  9. Serve right away while ice is intact and the latte is cold and silky.
  10. Refrigerate brewed espresso or strong coffee for up to 4 days; assemble with fresh ice when ready to drink.

Notes

Store brewed espresso or strong coffee in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 4 days (cold brew up to 1 week). Keep almond milk chilled separately and assemble with fresh ice just before serving to avoid dilution. For a grab-and-go version, combine coffee, almond milk, sweetener, and vanilla in a jar without ice and chill; add fresh ice right before drinking.
