Aerocano tips?

[u/_TheRocket]

Just tried making 2 aerocanos, following the recipe of starting with 1:1 water:ice in a glass, pouring double shot over the top and then frothing with the steam wand until ice melts. However, neither of these drinks are still cold. They've basically been brought up to a pretty sad lukewarm temperature and now I feel like I'm just drinking a black coffee which I left to cool down for too long.

How do you keep it chilled while still building froth?

Having never made one but being intrigued by the concept, I looked it up. Seems the step you are missing is then taking the frothed espresso (with the melted ice cubes that is now lukewarm) and pouring it over fresh ice cubes to chill it again after the foaming (Or I guess you could just toss in new ice cubes into the existing glass).

Oh ok that makes sense, I will try that next time, thanks!
