Ingredients:

1 cup brewed coffee or 1–2 shots espresso, cooled (French press works too, about 2 tbsp ground coffee)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk you like)
1–2 tablespoons carob syrup or maple syrup (or honey if you don’t mind the recipe not being vegan)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ice cubes
Optional topping: coconut whipped cream (or regular whipped cream if dairy isn’t an issue)

How to make iced almond milk latte (step by step):

Brew the coffee

Brew your coffee or espresso and let it cool. If using a French press, let the grounds bloom with a splash of hot water before filling – it gives a richer flavor.
Cold brew concentrate works beautifully here too, especially if you want a smoother, less bitter base.

Mix the flavors

In a glass, whisk the cinnamon and sweetener into the warm coffee first. This keeps the cinnamon from clumping and helps the sweetener blend properly (especially honey, which stiffens in cold liquids).
Once mixed, let it cool slightly if needed.

Assemble the latte

Fill a tall glass with fresh ice cubes. For a stronger drink that won’t dilute, try freezing leftover coffee into ice cubes.
Pour the cinnamon coffee mixture over the ice. Add almond milk and vanilla, then stir well.

Top it off

Add a dollop of coconut whipped cream if you like, then dust lightly with extra cinnamon.

Enjoy immediately

Sip and adjust sweetness to your taste. Pair it with a biscotti, an almond cookie, or a slice of pumpkin bread for the full cozy vibe.

Make it your own

For meal prep, shake everything (except the ice) in a mason jar and refrigerate. When you’re ready, just pour over fresh ice and enjoy.
For extra froth, use a handheld milk frother with the almond milk before adding it to the glass.
