Iced Golden Oreo Cookie Latte
This is my take on the iced chocolate Oreo cookie lattes I’ve seen on social media, but instead using Golden Oreo cookies.
An Iced Golden Oreo Cookie Latte a fun winter beverage you can easily make at home.
A while back, I discovered the technique of frothing milk for coffee using a mason jar. This inspired me to use the same method for this recipe to blend the ingredients.
What is a latte?
A traditional latte typically includes one or more shots of espresso and is then filled with steamed milk, creating a creamy and smooth beverage. The ratio of espresso to steamed milk can vary, but a common proportion is one-third espresso to two-thirds steamed milk.
Lattes are often topped with a small amount of frothed milk, which adds a light and airy texture to the drink. While the classic latte is made with espresso and cow's milk, variations abound.
Many people enjoy flavored lattes by adding syrups like vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut. Non-dairy alternatives such as soy, almond, or oat milk can also be used to make a latte, catering to individuals with dietary preferences or restrictions.
Overall, the latte is a versatile and widely appreciated coffee beverage, known for its rich and comforting flavor profile.
