For the Iced Version of the Dutch Bros Annihilator

1. Use ice instead of steam.

For the iced version of the Annihilator, start by filling your serving glass halfway with ice. Your ice can be made from coffee to help avoid dilution while drinking.


2. Add syrup and milk (or half and half)

Instead of steaming your milk, mix the 1 tablespoon of macadamia nut syrup and milk of your choice then froth. Once finished, pour it into the cup of ice.


3. Add the espresso.

Instead of using freshly made espresso, the iced version needs espresso that has been cooled. Once the espresso reaches room temperature, it can then be added to the glass with the milk, ice, and syrup.


4. Mix and enjoy.

When all ingredients are in the serving glass, you are now free to mix, add the toppings you wish, and enjoy.
