Enjoying a little outdoor reprieve with Olivia's favorite iced latte recipe in hand.
OP Picks — Sep 11
It's officially summer's last hurrah, and with a few weeks left on the calendar, Olivia and Johannes are taking every moment they can to soak in the warm weather. The Brooklyn-based couple has been enjoying time together at home—designating their outdoor terrace as a little oasis to jump-start daily activities. "From answering emails to getting our workouts in, a key step to beginning our day is always coffee," notes Olivia. One of her favorites is a café iced latte, so perfecting the recipe using her Nespresso machine was a game-changer and time-saver for her morning routine. Ahead, we share how to make the refreshing coffee drink, and Olivia gives it her own barista flair by often adding peach syrup or a dash of vanilla powder for extra flavor (depending on her mood). She also favors creamy, non-dairy oat milk in her classic lattes. The result? A smooth, deliciously sweet summer-approved beverage that you'll be eager to create yourself.
