History:
Caffè Leccese or Caffè alla Salentina is an iced coffee from Lecce, in the southern Italian region of Puglia, where it is said to have been created by Antonio Quarta, a coffee roaster.
Caffè Leccese is traditionally made with espresso and almond syrup and served 'soffiato' (blown), meaning you'll be served a cup of hot espresso and a separate glass with syrup and several ice cubes for you to combine. Or, 'shakerato' (shaken), with the ingredients shaken and strained into an ice-filled glass.
Review:
Almond milk and espresso coffee. What's not to like? It may seem counterintuitive to combine hot coffee and ice, but be bold.
