What is an iced latte at Starbucks? (What is an iced Starbucks latte+ more information)

Many people can always count on Starbucks lattes to fulfill their caffeine needs. But those who have never been to Starbucks might wonder what is an iced latte at Starbucks and what else does this beverage entail?

The Starbucks Iced Latte is a refreshing coffee-flavored drink containing espresso shots, milk, and ice. Starbucks has always been my go-to store when I need my coffee needs fulfilled. When I moved to the U.S about two years ago, I visited Starbucks for the first time and the Iced Latte was one of the first drinks that I tried on the menu and I instantly fell in love. I’m not big on strong coffee-flavored drinks but the Iced Latte has such a balanced and mellow milk and coffee flavor that’s not too strong and overpowering. It also provides the energy I need to go about my day. So if you’re looking for a simple but tasty drink on the Starbucks menu that’s not too strong on the coffee taste, the Iced Latte might be the drink for you.

What is in the Starbucks iced latte (Ingredients)?

The Starbucks Iced Latte is a pretty simple drink that is prepared by combining 2% milk, 2 shots of the Starbucks signature brewed espresso, and ice. As opposed to Iced coffee which has a higher amount of espresso than milk, the Iced Latte is a milk forward beverage and the best part is, you can use whichever type of milk you want such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. The 2% milk also provides the latte with 11 grams of sugar.

The Starbucks Iced Latte has a flavorful coffee taste. ¾ cup of milk is added and this provides the latte with just the right amount of sweetness without completely overpowering the subtle taste of the espresso shots. The perfect balance of skimmed milk and espresso shots gives it a mellow taste which is perfect for people who are not fans of strong-tasting cups of coffee.
