Reese’s Iced Latte Using Archipelago Beans

Reese’s Iced Latte Using Archipelago Beans

If you love bold coffee and creamy, nutty sweetness, this Reese’s Iced Latte is about to be your new obsession. It combines the deep, chocolatey notes of our Archipelago beans (aka the ang moh version of kopi-o) with rich peanut butter and milk — giving you that perfect balance of bitter, sweet, and nutty in every sip.

Why Archipelago Beans Work So Well

Our Archipelago blend is a mix of Sumatran Arabica and Javanese Robusta, roasted darker for a fuller body. That means:

  • Strong, bold base (so it doesn’t get lost in milk)
  • Natural chocolatey + nutty notes
  • Slight bitterness that balances the sweetness of Reese’s

Basically… it’s made for drinks like this.

Ingredients (1 serving)

  • 1-2 shot espresso (using Archipelago beans)
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter (or Reese’s spread if you have)
  • 1 cup milk (fresh, oat, or almond)
  • 1–2 tsp chocolate syrup (optional, but recommended)
  • Ice
  • Optional: crushed Reese’s or peanut butter drizzle for topping

Step-by-Step Recipe

1. Pull Your Espresso

Brew 1 strong shot using your Archipelago beans.
If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use:

  • Moka pot
  • Aeropress (strong setting)

Set aside.

2. Mix the Peanut Butter Base

In a cup or small bowl:

  • Add peanut butter
  • Add a little warm espresso (1–2 tbsp)
  • Stir until smooth

This helps it dissolve properly instead of clumping.

3. Build the Drink

In your glass:

  • Add ice
  • Pour in milk
  • Add chocolate syrup (optional but 🔥)

4. Pour & Combine

  • Pour the espresso + peanut butter mixture over the milk
  • Stir well until everything is fully combined

5. Finish It Off

Top with:

  • Extra peanut butter drizzle
  • Crushed Reese’s (if you want that dessert vibe)

Taste Profile

  • First sip: creamy, slightly sweet
  • Mid: nutty peanut butter richness
  • Finish: bold coffee kick with chocolatey notes

It’s like a Reese’s cup… but in latte form.

Pro Tips

  • Want it stronger? Add a double shot
  • Want it sweeter? Add condensed milk instead of regular milk
  • Want café vibes? Shake milk + ice before pouring for a frothy texture

Make It at Home

This drink is indulgent but still balanced — the boldness of Archipelago beans cuts through the richness so it never feels too heavy. It’s perfect for home café days, content shoots, or when you just want to upgrade your usual iced latte.
