At Coffee Avenue , we know that coffee is more than a drink: it's an experience. So today, we're sharing an exclusive cold brew latte recipe, designed for all coffee lovers who want a little originality in their cup, even on hot days.

Why make a homemade cold latte?

Sure, you can always buy a ready-made iced latte . But honestly, homemade is better, cheaper, more personalized... and, frankly, more stylish!

Our cold latte recipe takes it a step further: we offer a cold latte with a touch of natural vanilla and a creamy "cloud cold foam" style foam, just to really wow your taste buds (and your friends at the same time).

The Coffee Avenue Recipe: Vanilla Cold Latte & Cloud Foam

5. Slowly pour in the fresh milk to create pretty layers.

Create the cloud foam

3. Bonus option: sprinkle with a little vanilla powder or a mini dash of syrup for a barista effect.

Some tips for a perfect cold latte

• Use quality coffee . Choose a fruity Arabica or a special espresso blend available directly from Coffee Avenue!

• Ice water matters too! Use filtered water to avoid a "chemical" taste.

• Personalize your latte : add a hint of cinnamon, caramel, or even a hint of orange blossom for even more original versions.
