Iced Breve
Iced is good!
12 oz is tall MOST places...ask your barista.
Also ask your barista how much half and half he is using...1/2 c?...cup?...(BEFORE he/she steams it for a hot breve). Should be able to at least guesstimate it. Then figure out the carbs. Expresso has 1 carb per shot/ounce so don't forget that, and the syrups probably have some or one and are also a shot/ounce unless you ask for extra.
I like mine very ICY, so I ask the barista to use less halfnhalf then put my two or three shots of espresso and a sweet'ner packet then fill 'er up with LOTS of ice! Most baristas (if they have a clue) will be happy to prepare your drink exactly like you tell them. If not, find a new coffee bar.
Oh, and in the vernacular it is "iced breve" or hot, simply "breve", preceeded by double, triple, quad. A breve iced latte is a cream iced milk. Not good Italian!!
Jo...who is all about good customer service and good grammer, even in Italian!
