⚡ Pro Tips for Creamy Iced Coffee

• Always pour milk/cream slowly over ice to create a layered creamy look.
• Froth lightly for a silky top; too much froth turns it into foam.
• Full-fat or barista-style milk gives the richest texture.
• Sweeten the cream instead of the coffee for café-style balance.
