An Iced Coffee Latte is a popular chilled coffee beverage made by combining espresso or strong brewed coffee with cold milk and ice. Originating from the Italian 'caffè latte' tradition, it has become a global staple in cafes and homes, especially favored in warmer climates. The drink balances the robust flavor of coffee with the creamy smoothness of milk.
This beverage is primarily a source of carbohydrates from milk's natural lactose, with a moderate amount of protein and fat depending on the milk type chosen. It provides a quick energy boost from caffeine and offers some calcium and potassium, with a typical serving ranging from 100 to 200 calories.
