If you love a good latte, but hate the price—read on!
Iced latte drinkers, listen up. We know the daily Starbucks run can be tough on the wallet, which is why we love a good Starbucks copycat recipe. But if you’re not in the mood to make your own coffee, there are still ways to save.
We’re sharing a trick for your next Starbucks iced latte order. It’s something that we learned from a former barista!
What’s in a latte?
Before we tell you the secret to more affordable lattes, first you should know what ingredients are used to make a latte. A traditional iced latte contains ice, espresso, and milk. That’s it! So, the trick to ordering a cheaper latte is simply to get creative in the way you put in your order.
How to order a cheaper iced latte
Here’s an example of how the actual savings work out. The Grande Iced Caffe Latte will cost you $3.95.
But a doppio (2 shots) Iced Espresso with extra milk will cost only $2.45. (You can add extra pumps of vanilla syrup for 50 cents.)
This handy Starbucks hack will save you at least a buck or two, and if you’re addicted to lattes like us, that savings adds up!
