Iced Caramel Coconut Mint Latte
Coconut Mint Iced Latte is an easy homemade specialty coffee drink. Made with cold brew coffee, muddled mint, milk coconut extract and whipped cream.
As an iced coffee and cold brew fanatic, there’s now more to love about the warmer weather. While I drink iced coffee year-round, it feels more natural during summer months. I make sure to have some cold brew on hand, and the convenience of always-ready coffee is hard to resist.
How to make a homemade iced latte with mint
- Start with muddling fresh mint. Mix with chilled coffee or cold brew.
- I prefer cold brew for stronger flavor
- Let the mint infuse a bit or strain right away and discard mint leaves. You’ll still get plenty of flavor.
- Stir in coconut extract and whole milk
- Top with optional whipped cream, caramel sauce and shredded coconut flakes
- Garnish with mint leave for nice presentation
This Iced Caramel Coconut Mint Latte is quick and ready in minutes, with fresh muddled mint leaves. Recently I started an herb garden, which is highly recommended for keeping fresh herbs on hand for cooking, cocktails and drinks like this mint latte.
Do you need an espresso machine for iced latte?
You can used chilled espresso for an iced latte, but just as easily substitute with strong brewed coffee or cold brew.
Pro tip for iced latte: Make sure all ingredients are chilled so it’s not diluted when ice is added. If you used brewed coffee chill in fridge before. This is another reason why I like cold brew for mint iced lattes, it’s already chilled
