How to Make Caramel Iced Coffee at Home

Here’s how you can create your own delicious caramel iced coffee in just a few steps. It is quick and easy to make and satisfies that sweet tooth while keeping your coffee cravings in check. And the best part? You can tweak it just the way you like - whether you prefer it rich and bold or smooth and sweet. Let’s dive into this simple coffee recipe that will delight your taste buds!

Ingredients

• 1 cup of brewed coffee (cooled or chilled)
• 2-3 tablespoons of caramel syrup (depending on how sweet you like it)
• 1/2 cup of cold milk (or any milk alternative)
• Ice cubes
• Whipped cream (optional but makes it extra special)
• Caramel drizzle (for that finishing touch)

Step-by-Step Recipe

1. Brew Your Coffee

Start with a strong cup of coffee. To get that bold taste similar to what you’d find in a cafe, use espresso or a dark roast. Let the coffee cool completely - hot coffee will melt the ice too quickly, diluting the flavours. You can even brew the coffee in advance and store it in the fridge.

2. Prepare Your Glass

Take a tall glass and drizzle some caramel syrup along the inside. This step not only adds sweetness but also makes your iced coffee look as good as it tastes. The syrup will slowly mix with the coffee as you sip.

3. Add Ice

Fill your glass with ice cubes. Using lots of ice keeps your drink cool and refreshing, and if you want to avoid watering down your coffee, you can freeze leftover coffee into ice cubes.

4. Mix Coffee and Caramel

In a separate cup, mix the chilled coffee with 2-3 tablespoons of caramel syrup. Stir until the syrup is fully dissolved, ensuring you get that sweet caramel flavour in every sip.

5. Pour in Milk

Now, add your choice of cold milk (or a milk alternative like almond or oat milk) into the glass. The milk makes the coffee creamy and smooth, balancing the bold coffee with the sweetness of the caramel.

6. Top it Off (Optional)

For an extra indulgent touch, top your caramel iced coffee with whipped cream and drizzle a little more caramel syrup over the top. This gives it that cafe-style finish.

7. Stir and Sip

Give your drink a light stir to mix everything together, and enjoy! Your homemade caramel iced coffee is ready to be savoured.
