The Iced Nantucket

This latte celebrates the essence of summer in Nantucket, where salt air drifts through open windows and the steady hush of the sea is never far off. Nell Diamond, CEO and founder of Hill House, has created an iced latte that encapsulates those long, unhurried days that stretch into golden evenings—creamy caramel and earthy espresso are complemented by a fluffy swirl of whipped cream and a touch of sea salt. Skim milk’s lower fat content creates a voluminous foam with a lighter mouthfeel, but it requires less air than whole milk—and a watchful eye to ensure it hits the correct temperature. For best results, we recommend brewing with the Philips Café Aromis 8000, which can produce café-quality results with the touch of a button.
