Café con Leche (Coffee with Milk) vs Freddo Espresso: Iconic Greek Iced Espresso

Both drinks start from a double shot of espresso, yet they take it in opposite directions. Café con Leche softens the coffee with an equal or greater measure of steaming full-fat milk, poured slowly so the two meld into a warm, creamy, comforting cup. Freddo Espresso adds no milk at all: the hot espresso is frothed vigorously with ice into a thick, light brown foam, then poured over more ice for a cold, frothy drink served with a straw. Sugar is optional in each.
