This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with a mixer, or 8-10 minutes by hand.

Pour approximately 3/4 cup of milk into each glass, filling them about two-thirds full.

Carefully spoon the prepared coffee foam on top of the milk in each glass, creating a distinct layer. For best results, spoon gently to maintain the separation of layers.

Serve immediately and enjoy your beautifully layered iced coffee. Stir before drinking to combine the layers and foam.
