Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1/2 cup milk or cream (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2–3 tablespoons caramel syrup (plus more for drizzling)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature or chill it in the fridge to ensure your iced coffee stays cold without melting the ice too fast.
- Mix Coffee and Caramel: In a glass, add the caramel syrup, then pour in the cooled coffee and stir well until the caramel is fully dissolved and mixed.
- Add Ice and Milk: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour in the milk or cream of your choice. Stir again gently to combine all the flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Top your caramel iced coffee with a generous amount of whipped cream and an extra drizzle of caramel syrup for added sweetness and a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of caramel syrup to your preferred sweetness level for a more or less sweet drink.
- You can use cold brew coffee instead of brewed coffee for a smoother, less acidic flavor.
- For a blended version, combine all ingredients in a blender with extra ice and blend until smooth.
