This easy fix will help your iced lattes taste even better
Iced latte

We all love a good iced latte. Particularly in the summer months when the mornings are steamy, that chilled caffeine rush is really the only way to start the day. Though, what started out as a once-a-day breakfast caffeine treat has now evolved into something most of us are sipping on constantly throughout the day. Of course, there's the one that gets us out of bed in the morning. But then that 10 a.m. meeting rolls around, and we're desperate for another. Then there's the post-lunch crash when that beautiful iced latte is an absolute requirement, and before we know it, we've crushed several before the day is even close to over. So, there's really no reason we shouldn't be getting the most out of these popular, nay, necessary beverages in all of our doses.

We all know how to make an iced latte, right? Well, as it turns out — not so much.
