Cappuccino:
Contrary to belief, cappuccinos can only be served hot due to the temperature needed to be reached in order to create enough dry froth for the drink. An 'iced cappuccino' is essentially a latte since cappuccinos have more froth as opposed to steamed milk. Since you need the froth from the milk, you must steam the milk up to 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit to produce the froth. A cappuccino consists of 1 part espresso, 1 part steamed milk, and 1 part milk froth.
-What is a 'wet' latte versus a 'dry' latte?-
What makes a wet latte 'wet' is the amount of foam there is when steaming the milk. If a customer were to ask for a 'wet latte', the Barista would prepare his or her frothing pitcher with more milk as opposed to preparing a 'dry latte'. A dry latte is 'dry' due to there being less liquid milk in the drink as there is milk froth. The less milk you prepare the frothing pitcher with, the less heat it takes for the milk to start frothing. Once it hits 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit, there would be more froth.
