Brew a 60ml NESCAFÉ^® Espresso, or a strong 60ml cup of NESCAFÉ^® GOLD – we suggest using 2 spoonfuls.

Next, froth your choice of milk. For a classic cappuccino flavour, use full cream milk. If you prefer a non-dairy option, almond or oat milk work well too. Froth the milk right until it has a light and creamy texture.

Slowly pour the frothed milk over the coffee and ice in the glass. Use a spoon to hold back the froth and allow the milk to pour out first, then spoon the froth on top of the coffee.

Tips for customising your iced cappuccino with syrups and non-dairy milks

To add extra sweetness and flavour to your iced cappuccino, try adding a pump or two of your favourite syrup. Flavours like vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut can magically elevate your drink to new heights.

If you prefer a non-dairy option, don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of milk alternatives. Coconut, soy, or almond milk can provide a unique taste and texture.
