In the iced drinks sequence, what step comes immediately before pouring milk to the last line?

• A. Pull shots
• B. Add syrup
• C. Pour milk to last line
• D. Add shots to cup

Answer: (D)

In iced drinks, you build the cup by combining the flavor components in a specific order so the balance and measurement stay correct as you progress. The step right before pouring milk to the last line is adding the espresso shots directly into the cup. This placement ensures the espresso flavor and strength are established in the cup before the milk is added, so the final drink maintains the intended balance and the milk line reflects the proper volume for the drink. Pulling shots would mean extracting into a separate vessel, which isn’t the action described for this step sequence. Adding syrup typically happens earlier in the build, and pouring milk to the last line comes after the shots have already been added, so the immediate preceding action is to add the shots to the cup.
