Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee (strong or double strength), chilled
- 1/2 cup milk or cream of choice
- 2–3 tablespoons caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- 1–2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Chill the Coffee: Brew your coffee using strong or double-strength grounds. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly.
- Mix Caramel and Sweetener: In a glass, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of caramel sauce along with 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar or your preferred sweetener if using. Stir gently to combine these ingredients.
- Add Chilled Coffee: Pour the chilled brewed coffee into the glass with the caramel mixture. Stir well until the caramel sauce is fully dissolved, blending the flavors evenly.
- Incorporate Milk or Cream: Pour in 1/2 cup of milk or cream of your choice and stir again to combine all the ingredients smoothly for a creamy texture.
- Add Ice Cubes: Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, chilling your caramel iced coffee and enhancing its refreshing quality.
- Optional Toppings: For extra indulgence, top your drink with whipped cream and drizzle additional caramel sauce on top for a decadent finish.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your caramel iced coffee fresh for the best flavor and chill.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, substitute half-and-half or sweetened condensed milk for regular milk.
- You can blend all ingredients with ice if you prefer a caramel iced coffee frappe texture.
- Use decaffeinated coffee or cold brew coffee for a less intense caffeine experience.
