This recipe is perfect for serving on a hot summer day, and there are a few things you can do ahead of time to make it even easier to whip up. To make your life easier, you can prepare the espresso and the steamed or frothed milk beforehand.

To store the pre-made espresso, let it cool to room temperature, then pour it into an airtight container such as a sealable jar or bottle. Keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days. For the steamed milk, put it in a container with a tight-fitting lid and keep it chilled in the refrigerator.

When you’re ready to assemble your iced cappuccino, simply add ice cubes to your glass, pour in the pre-made espresso, followed by the chilled milk, and top with milk foam. Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or other sweeteners if desired.

If you have any leftover iced cappuccino, transfer it into a sealable container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, mix well and add additional ice as needed. You can also turn this recipe into a dessert by adding some gelato or ice cream for a decadent cappuccino gelato float.

With these make-ahead tips and tricks under your belt, you’ll be ready to whip up an easy iced cappuccino whenever you want without having to start from scratch every time.

Tips for Perfect Results

One thing I’ve learned as a barista is that the little things can make a big difference in the flavor and overall experience of a drink. To help you achieve that perfect cappuccino ice, here are some tips and tricks to ensure your drink is delicious and refreshing.

Firstly, it’s important to use freshly brewed coffee for the base of your iced cappuccino. Using instant coffee may be tempting because it’s quick and easy, but it can leave a bitter aftertaste. Freshly brewed coffee will bring out the natural sweetness in your drink while providing a rich and smooth flavor.

When adding sugar or sweeteners to cappuccino ice, I recommend adding them to the mixing glass before combining with the coffee. This helps ensure that the sweetener is properly mixed into the drink and won’t leave a clumpy mess.

To achieve that foamy milk layer on top of your iced cappuccino, use cold milk when frothing. Cold milk tends to froth better than warm or hot milk since there is more air available at colder temperatures. For best results, froth cold milk until it thickens and forms stiff peaks.

Another crucial tip for making cappuccino ice is to start with fresh ice cubes. Old ice can have an unpleasant taste or smell from absorbing odors in your freezer, which can ruin the overall flavor of your drink. Use clean and fresh ice cubes for the best results.

Finally, get creative with toppings and add-ins! Adding a sprinkle of cocoa powder or ground cinnamon on top of your iced cappuccino can elevate its flavor profile. You could even try blending in some vanilla gelato or ice cream for an even creamier treat.

By following these tips, you’ll be able to make an easy iced cappuccino that’s perfect for hot summer days or anytime you’re craving an energizing espresso drink. Enjoy!
