Iced Non-Dairy Latte
An Iced Non-Dairy Latte is a chilled coffee beverage made with espresso or strong brewed coffee combined with a plant-based milk alternative, such as oat, almond, soy, or coconut milk. It originated in Western coffee culture but has become a global staple, especially popular in urban cafes and among those avoiding dairy.

💡 What's interesting
Culturally, it reflects the rise of plant-based and lactose-free diets, merging coffeehouse traditions with modern dietary preferences. Nutritionally, it's unique because plant milks vary widely in texture and nutrient profile—oat milk creates a creamy, frothy latte similar to dairy, while almond milk offers a lighter, nuttier taste with fewer calories.
