Christine's Iced Latte

Grab a ice chilled glass and a straw this is a refreshing sweet drink for a hot day or any day. My future hubby and I love iced coffee so I came up with this recipe after having iced latte's. We think these iced lattes are really good. I used cubed ice as that's what my side by side makes. You can add the syrups or just drink these plain. The coffee makes enough to make 3-6 servings but the rest of the ingredients is for 1 serving.
