1 cup (medium) of Iced espresso with milk (240 g) has 65 calories. That works out to 27 calories per 100 g. It contains 5 g of carbs, 3.4 g of protein, 2.6 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 0.4 µg of B12 covers 18% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 30 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Iced espresso with milk combines espresso—coffee brewed under pressure and associated with Italy—with cold milk and ice. It is now a familiar café drink in many countries, especially in warm weather, and is easy to make at home. Some versions are sweetened, while others let the espresso’s roasted notes come through without added sugar.
The result is brisk and coffee-forward, softened by creamy milk and chilled by the ice. Enjoy it as a morning coffee or an afternoon pick-me-up; it also works well alongside a small pastry. Made without added sweetener, it is a relatively light chilled coffee: it provides 27 kcal per 100 g and contains caffeine. For a lighter cup, ask for no syrup and adjust the amount of milk to suit your taste.

Make iced espresso with milk by pouring freshly brewed espresso over ice, adding cold milk, and stirring. For a less watery drink, chill the espresso briefly before adding it; sweeten it while warm if you want sugar to dissolve easily.
No, iced espresso with milk usually has less milk and a stronger coffee taste than an iced latte. Café recipes vary, so ask for the milk-to-espresso ratio you prefer if the distinction matters to you.
Iced espresso with milk contains caffeine because it is made with espresso. The amount varies with the number of espresso shots and the coffee used; adding milk and ice does not remove the caffeine.
Yes, you can make a similar drink with instant coffee, although it will not have the same flavor as espresso. Dissolve the coffee in a small amount of hot water first, then pour it over ice and add cold milk.
Any milk you enjoy can work in iced espresso with milk. Whole milk gives a creamier texture, while lower-fat milk tastes lighter; oat, soy, and other plant-based drinks also work, though their sweetness and texture differ.
No, iced espresso with milk does not need sugar; the espresso and milk can be served unsweetened. If you prefer it sweeter, stir sugar into the warm espresso before adding ice, or use a sweetener that dissolves in cold drinks.
Yes, you can prepare iced espresso with milk ahead and keep it refrigerated for a short time, but melting ice will dilute it. For better flavor, chill the espresso and milk separately and pour them over fresh ice just before serving.
Yes, most people can drink iced espresso with milk on an empty stomach. Coffee can cause heartburn or stomach discomfort for some people, so have it with food or choose a smaller drink if you notice those symptoms.
It can, because iced espresso with milk contains caffeine, which may delay sleep or make sleep lighter. If you are sensitive to caffeine, avoid drinking it close to bedtime; the effect varies from person to person.
Iced espresso with milk can taste watered down when the ice melts, especially if the espresso is still hot when poured over it. Chill the coffee first, use larger ice cubes, or make coffee ice cubes to preserve its flavor.
