FAQ
The secret menu is a collection of specialty drinks that aren’t on the official menu. You have to ask for them, but the baristas know how to make them.
Brew your coffee as strongly as possible. The other liquid ingredients and ice will dilute it.
Keep your coffee and milk as cold as possible. Don’t remove them from the fridge until just before you’re ready to mix. This keeps everything extremely cold and prevents the ice from melting too quickly and diluting the flavor of your iced coffee.
