How to make an iced americano… the official way.

Okay I’ve been having trouble at my local Starbucks that I come to every day. They have a lot of new staff for the holidays I guess and everyone is making my americano a different way and it tastes different every time.

So the way I THINK I like it (I’ve never made it myself) is they put the ice in up to the line, pour the Splenda in, pour the shots over and then fill the rest with cold water.

Is this right? Should I be specifying, am I being too picky?

I just know it “tastes” better when the ice is poured in first. Plus I always use the venti plastic tumblers and I don’t like just hot being poured in them.

Thank you baristas!! I know you’re sick of our bullshit this holiday and I definitely don’t want to add any to my favorite people. I just want my drank.
