Behind the Bev: Buzzed Iced Cap - Cold Foam Done Right

Think iced latte, but it got dressed up and put on its good shoes. Single origin espresso meets single origin honey, with cold foam done right.

Our best seller, and our customers' favourite. This is our second summer with it, and it hasn't lost an ounce of momentum.

THE CUP

Velvety, refreshing and a little bit decadent, all at once. It's an iced latte dressed up for the occasion, with a honey-sweet cloud of cold foam on top and a dusting of dark chocolate like a cappuccino. Not too rich, not too sweet, just right. Goldilocks would approve.

Fair warning: it's addictive.

BEHIND THE DRINK

The espresso is single origin to complement the extravagance. The honey is raw, single origin and local to Moffat Beach, which means the sweetness in your cup comes from down the road, not a bottle. Millarbee has their honey available to take home; packaged into the nostalgic bear bottles (adorable).

The cream is pure cream, shaken with that honey until it turns into the cold foam that sits on top. And the chocolate is organic dark chocolate flakes from Heirloom, grated over the top the way a barista would finish a cappuccino.

When we were pretty buzzed after multiple taste tests; settling on a name for this beverage was the easy part.

HOW WE MAKE IT

Every one is built to order:

1. Big ice and milk go in the glass first.

2. Single origin espresso is poured over an ice cube, so it hits the milk slowly and layers rather than crashes. 

3. Raw Moffat Beach honey goes into the shaker with pure cream. 

4. Shaken, then layered on top as cold foam.

5. Organic dark chocolate flakes to finish for that iced cappuccino feeling. 
   

Best enjoyed sipped straight from the glass to get the layers of milk, espresso and cream in one mouthful. No straws needed.
