FAQs

Q: Can I use instant coffee?
A: Yes, but use strong instant coffee and chill well. Taste may differ from brewed coffee.

Q: How much syrup should I use?
A: Start with 1-2 tablespoons and add more to taste. For very sweet drinks use 3-4 tablespoons.

Q: Can I use hot espresso?
A: You can, but let it cool first. Hot espresso will melt the ice quickly and make the drink weak.

Q: How do I make cold foam?
A: Whisk cold milk fast or use a milk frother until thick and pour on top. Use nonfat milk or barista blends for best foam.

Q: Can I make these drinks ahead?
A: Make coffee or cold brew ahead and store in the fridge. Mix milk and syrup just before serving for best flavor.
