Forget iced lattes, there's a better way to drink your morning coffee
A viral Australian iced coffee called the Mont Blanc combines espresso, whipped cream, honey, orange juice, zest and nutmeg for a layered, visually striking drink. Originating at Melbourne’s Good Measure café in 2022 and inspired by Dalgona coffee, it grew rapidly in popularity. A home test of the recipe found the drink rich and flavourful, though the topping consistency mattered for the best result. The combination of coffee and citrus enhances roasted notes, though high acidity may not suit everyone. Overall, the drink offers an indulgent alternative to typical iced coffee options.
