Some people will tell you that the iced cappuccino originally came from Algeria, some will argue that it's Greece, regardless they have since become popular the world over for their delicious taste and cooling effect. But what exactly is an iced cappuccino?
Unlike a traditional cappuccino which is made with equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and foam, an iced cappuccino starts with a shot of espresso that is cooled and poured over ice. Cold milk is then added, and the drink is topped with a layer of frothy milk foam.

The key difference lies in the temperature and texture. While a hot cappuccino is often considered to be comforting, a cold cappuccino offers a far more refreshing experience.
