100 ml water
2 sprigs mint, plus extra to garnish
ice
150 ml whole milk
1 shot espresso or 1 tsp espresso-style instant coffee made up with 2 tbsp boiling water

Directions

1. Step 1For the mint simple syrup, put the sugar, water, and mint sprigs into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Heat on low for 1-2 minutes, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Turn off the heat and let steep for 10mins before removing the mint.
2. Step 2 For the iced latte, fill a heat-safe glass with ice. Pour the milk into another glass or bowl with 1 tbsp of the mint syrup. Use a hand-held electric milk frother to make the cold milk light and frothy. Alternatively, you can use an electric whisk. Pour the foam into the glass over the ice.
3. Step 3Pour in the coffee, garnish with a sprig of mint and serve immediately.
