How to Make Mango Cinnamon Iced Latte

Blend the fresh Malda Mango until smooth.
For an extra silky texture, strain the puree through a fine sieve if desired.
Step 2: Brew the Coffee
Prepare two shots of espresso and allow them to cool completely.
If you don’t have an espresso machine, use strong brewed coffee and chill it before mixing.

In a blender, combine the mango puree, chilled milk, fresh cream (if using), vanilla extract, honey, and ground cinnamon.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Assemble the Drink
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.
Pour the mango milk mixture into the glasses until they are about three-quarters full.
Slowly pour the cooled espresso over the back of a spoon to create attractive layered effects, or stir gently for a fully blended latte.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Top with a light sprinkle of cinnamon.
Garnish with fresh mango cubes, a cinnamon stick, whipped cream if desired, and a fresh mint leaf.
Serve immediately.
