This chilled latte is out of this world luscious. Best part is, you can easily make it at home for a fraction of the cost if you were to buy one in your local Starbucks. Enjoy every last sip!
Have you tried this delicious iced drink from Starbucks? I just discovered it recently while shopping in the mall with my daughter. We saw it on the menu and it sounded just right for a long day of walking and shopping. The only one thing is that it’s expensive even for the smallest size. I knew this was one I had to copy at home. The next day it was made and my daughter told me it tasted just like the one we had. If you like cinnamon flavor, you are going to love this cold, refreshing latte.
