During the summer months I do not always want to be drinking a hot cappuccino, especially when the outside temperature is approaching 30 degrees Celsius. That is when I usually choose an iced coffee drink, and that is usually an iced cappuccino. Like the other specialty drinks, iced coffee is often very high in calories due to added sugars and creams. These drinks can also be as expensive as $4 or $5, which certainly adds up if you have one every day. There are alternatives though. There are many recipes available for making your own home-made iced coffee drinksthat are low in fat.
What is Cappuccino?
Cappuccino was developed in Milan, Italy after the invention of the first espresso machine in 1901. It is a drink consisting of espresso coffee, hot milk, and a steamed-milk foam topping. Traditionally it was always served in a porcelain cup; the steamed-milk foam acted as an insulator for keeping the coffee warm longer.
Iced Cappuccino
Cappuccino Freddo is the Italian name for iced cappuccino. Of course, in iced cappuccino the steamed-milk is left off. It is the perfect drink for a hot summer day.
