Iced lattes are simple. You don’t need a £2k machine or a foam wand that sounds like a jet engine. All you need is good coffee, some ice, milk (or oat), and a bit of flavour if you fancy. Whether you're into sweet, floral, or classic - here's how to do it right. These five recipes cover all the bases, no nonsense.
