Iced Coconut Milk Cascara Latte

An iced coconut milk cascara latte is the iced version of the Starbucks cascara latte beverages and is much more refreshing than that hot version of the drink.

The use of ice in this drink makes it a much better beverage on a hot day. This is not at all surprising as a cascara tea has the same effect; it is much more refreshing while cold.

Made with blonde espresso, steamed coconut milk, cascara syrup and ice with a little sprinkle of cascara sugar on top.

Cascara is the husk, the outer shell, the skin of the coffee cherry. It’s zesty, tangy and has neat and smooth sweetness with a gentle reminder of oranges, hibiscus and cider.

Tones of dried fruits with the rich flavors of raisins and apricots come through and match a blonde espresso better than a regular espresso.

The lingering flavor of Starbucks coconut milk, which is a single origin coconut from Sumatra, Indonesia, pairs well with the drink over all.
