McDonald’s “Korean Iced Espresso Hack” was popularized on social media and mainly consists of shopping for an iced black espresso and delicate serve cone and mixing the delicate serve from the cone into the espresso.
From what I collect, the title comes from the follow of mixing a soft-serve cone, a sealed cup of ice, and a pouch of espresso (or espresso focus) from the freezer at comfort shops in South Korea. Right here within the US, packaged soft-serve cones aren’t straightforward to come back by however McDonald’s conveniently affords each soft-serve cones and occasional.
I purchased a medium iced espresso with mild ice, no cream, and no sugar for $2.59 and acquired a Vanilla Cone (usually $2.19) without cost as a result of I had sufficient factors within the McDonald’s App.
I drank a few of the iced espresso by itself to make room within the cup so as to add the vanilla delicate serve. The espresso by itself was really fairly good. It was sturdy and clean with a roasty however not charred end.
Mixing within the vanilla delicate serve added some icy thickness in addition to a candy and creamy be aware tinged with vanilla. It is tasty however apart from the additional texture, it isn’t a lot completely different from including cream and sugar to your espresso.
Whereas the McDonald’s “Korean Iced Espresso Hack” leads to a flippantly candy, creamy espresso with a little bit of vanilla ice cream taste, I’d slightly simply get an iced espresso with creamy, sugar, and a pump of the chain’s French Vanilla syrup and save myself the additional price of the Vanilla Cone (which is usually milk, cream, and sugar anyway). The additional texture is not price the additional value.
