Coffee meets oat milk and ice:
Coffee in the morning is a given, but here on the sunny coast of Andalusia, it’s different – iced, wonderfully creamy and completely without unnecessary sugar.
Compared to classic milk coffees, this variant scores with a clear, natural taste and instant refreshment. The secret lies in the right layering: first the crushed ice, then the cold oat milk, and finally the hot, strong coffee. This not only creates a beautiful marble effect in the glass but also an iced coffee that stays fresh for a long time and allows you to start an active day without a heavy feeling of fullness.
Ingredients for your Iced Café con Leche from SOVAZ
Coffee base: 1 double espresso or 60 ml very strong filter coffee (intense enough to stand up to milk and ice)
Milk: 150 ml oat milk (definitely the Barista Edition for maximum creaminess)
Ice: 1 large handful of crushed ice (or ice cubes)
Optional: Sugar-free sweetener of choice (e.g. erythritol, stevia or flavdrops)
Preparation: In 3 steps to the perfect marble effect
Brew & sweeten the coffee: Prepare a double espresso or a strong coffee concentrate. Important:If you want to sweeten your iced coffee, add the sweetness directly to the hot coffee and stir well. Only then will it dissolve completely.
Preparing the base: Fill a tall latte glass (approx. 300 ml) halfway with crushed ice. Then pour the cold barista oat milk over the ice. Tip: The milk cools the glass and protects the ice, so your drink doesn't get diluted immediately.
The magical moment: Now slowly and directly pour the hot espresso over the ice into the milk. This creates the impressive marble effect, where the dark coffee slowly makes its way through the white oat milk.
