How to Make Iced Coffee Latte (Traditional & Healthy Version)
The Malaysian Iced Coffee Latte, or Kopi Latte Ais, is a beloved beverage that perfectly captures the vibrant café culture found across Malaysia. With its roots in local kopitiams and modern cafés from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, this refreshing drink combines robust Malaysian coffee with creamy milk and a hint of sweetness, often enjoyed under the tropical sun. Malaysians take pride in their unique coffee brewing methods, from hand-poured filter kopi to espresso shots, and this iced latte pays homage to both traditional and contemporary styles. What sets the Malaysian version apart is its harmonious blend of multicultural flavors. Local ingredients like pandan leaves infuse a gentle aroma, while the option of santan (coconut milk) provides a dairy-free twist that reflects Malaysia’s rich culinary diversity. The Iced Coffee Latte is a favorite for its smooth, bold flavor balanced with just the right amount of sweetness, making it a perfect pick-me-up for breakfast, lunch, or a midday treat. This health-conscious recipe is lighter than many sugary café drinks, making it a satisfying yet mindful choice for coffee lovers.

Brew a strong batch of Malaysian coffee using your preferred method (kopi filter, French press, or espresso machine). If using, add the pandan leaf into the hot coffee and let it steep for 5 minutes for subtle fragrance.

While the coffee is still hot, stir in the brown sugar until fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to your liking.
