Description

This Viral Washington-Style Americano is a refreshing and creamy iced espresso drink that combines the rich flavors of white chocolate powder and flaky sea salt with smooth whole milk and heavy cream, served over nugget ice for a deliciously chilled coffee experience.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Nugget ice, enough to overfill a 10 or 12-ounce cup
  • 2 tablespoons white chocolate flavored powder
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt
  • 2 ounces espresso
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ice: Overfill a 10 or 12-ounce cup with nugget ice and set it aside to chill while you prepare the coffee mixture.
  2. Brew espresso with flavorings: In a medium glass or jar, combine 2 tablespoons of white chocolate flavored powder and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Brew 2 ounces of espresso directly over the mixture to dissolve the ingredients.
  3. Froth the espresso mixture: Use a hand frother to mix the espresso and flavored powder vigorously until the powder has fully dissolved and the coffee becomes light and foamy.
  4. Assemble over ice: Pour the foamy espresso mixture over the prepared nugget ice in the cup. The ice will begin to melt and settle, chilling the drink.
  5. Add dairy: Pour in 3 tablespoons of whole milk followed by 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to add creaminess and smoothness to the drink.
  6. Final stir and serve: Stir or swirl the drink gently to combine all the ingredients well before enjoying your refreshing Washington-Style Americano.

Notes

  • Use nugget ice for optimal chilling and gradual dilution without watering down the flavor quickly.
  • Adjust the white chocolate powder to taste for more or less sweetness.
  • Flaky sea salt enhances the flavor profile by balancing sweetness with a subtle salty contrast.
  • The hand frother helps incorporate air for a light, foamy texture that elevates the coffee experience.
  • This recipe serves one but can be easily scaled up for multiple servings.
