I was making some steamed iced Americanos (Aerocano) last summer and really enjoyed that. I also enjoy the citros (nitro cold brew with a bit of lemonade) and find them very refreshing! So I decided to combine both and made this.
Simple syrup made with honey, fresh squeezed lemon juice, a double espresso, steamed with crushed ice, and served over a giant ice cube. Dialing in the recipe but it's a delicious refreshing summer drink.
Typically you steam milk to create microbubbles for texture. Those bubbles usually collapse when made in water (they mention its an Americano-type drink) very quickly. So I'm not really sure what it would do.
Then again, plant milk is just "water with stuff dissolved in it" same as espresso or watered down espresso so maybe it keeps the texture for long enough to drink it.
