- Start by brewing your coffee or espresso as you normally would, but make sure to brew it extra strong. Once brewed, allow it to cool completely, or preferably, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Notes
This Almond Joy Iced Latte is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to experience its optimal freshness and texture. If you happen to have any leftovers, you can store the un-topped latte mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Do not store the latte with ice as it will melt and dilute the beverage.
To reheat or enjoy your stored latte, simply give the mixture a good stir. If you prefer it cold, strain out any melted ice and add fresh ice cubes, then pour into a glass. If you'd like a slightly warmer coffee base before making it an iced latte, gently heat the base mixture on the stovetop over low heat until it reaches your desired temperature, then proceed with adding ice and toppings as usual. Freezing this iced latte recipe is not recommended as the texture can change significantly upon thawing.
