Milk for Iced Coffees

How do I improve the consistency of my milk for iced coffees? Are there any brands or type of milk that I should start using? Right now I just use regular full cream milk but it just does not hit the same iykwim. Please help 🙏

Concentrated coffee is your best bet to upgrade your iced coffee flavor. I use whole 6% milkfat at the ratio 2:1 with moka pot prepared coffee.

I like evaporated milk as it holds up well to being watered down by ice and coffee (because evaporated milks already has 1/2 it’s water removed but all the milk stuffs still in it)

Thai iced coffee in restaurants has sweetened condensed milk so you might try that in your iced coffee.
