Iced Sea Salt Coffee/latte 冰海鮮鹽拿鐵

One of my favorite bakeries is the 85C cafe. When I was still in college, I would always buy a bunch of bread and bring them up for school to use for my study fuel, but I also love the sea salt iced coffee. So I decided to try and make my own. I based it off this recipe I found online. http://www.howcookingworks.com/public/recipe/show/169

So the trick to the 85C coffee is the sea salt!! The salt makes all the difference in distinguishing regular iced coffee versus sea salt coffee. Except I used light whipped hazelnut cream instead of heavy cream. I also didn't add additional sugar because I'm not a big fan of adding sugars or any sweetener whenever I make food.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup of brewed coffee (strong or weak, depending on your tastes)
- whipped/light hazelnut cream
- 1 tsp sea salt
- Starbucks Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder

I brewed coffee and refrigerated overnight for the ice coffee.

For the cream, I mixed the whipped cream + sea salt in a bowl and then poured it on top of the coffee. Add more or less salt depending on how much flavor you want. Pour cream on top of coffee. Sprinkle some cocoa powder to fancy it up for your tastes.

Notes: Since the cream has a light & fluffy texture, it was hard to get the cream to settle on top to create the foamy, more "heavier" look of the cream layer. Some of the cream would start getting mixed with the coffee as soon as I started adding to the top layer but maybe it's because I used the aerosol whipped bottle that came with the whip. But after making this I realized how much cream must really go into a sea salt coffee. I most likely won't be making this a lot, but I still like an iced coffee because the cold brew makes the coffee less bitter and brings out the taste better.  Give it a taste! Even though it's winter and no the season for iced coffee, but fortunately it's still sunny/warm during the day in December where I live so I can drink it as a mid-day pick me up

An outdoor treat xD
