Transcript

I get comments like this all the time. And is there really a specific order that you need to build your lattes? Let's find out. All right, we're settling this debate once and for all. First drink, we're gonna do syrup, espresso, milk and then our ice. Apparently, this is the best way to make it. But it's one of the variations I've seen. The next way we'll make our latte is by adding ice, syrup, then our shot of espresso and then the milk. I actually never make my lattes this way, but it's one of the variations I've seen. And for the last method, we're gonna do ice, syrup, milk and then our espresso on top. I love how the espresso looks cascading through. I honestly didn't think there would be a difference, but this one tastes more watered down. The coffee flavor is nowhere near as strong. And last but not least, we have the way that you guys all say you have to make your latte. I did syrup, espresso, milk and then my ice. Oh. I will fully admit that this is the best way to make a latte. It is the most well-rounded flavored latte out of the three. You guys are correct. You should mix all of your liquids before adding your ice.
