Now that the weather’s heating up, it’s time to leave those hot lattes behind and sip on something cool for your daily caffeine fix. Enter Australian iced coffee: a genius concoction of ice cream and espresso, it’s basically a king-sized Affogato. You can make your own version in Hayden by mixing their pre-made cappuccino, any flavor of ice cream, and fun add-ins like Nutella, peanut butter, chocolate sauce or strawberry jam.
