Caramel Iced Coffee
How to make caramel iced coffee at home that tastes like a treat, with tips for real caramel sauce, stronger coffee, and dairy-free swaps.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Ground coffee or espresso
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk or oat milk your preference
- 1 tbsp Caramel sauce highly recommend making your own
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream optional
Instructions
Prepare Your Coffee
- Brew your choice of coffee or espresso.
Mix the Drink*
- Fill a glass with plenty of ice and pour the cooled coffee over the ice.
- Add the almond or oat milk until it reaches your ideal level of creaminess.
- Stir in a tablespoon of caramel sauce and the vanilla extract.
- *If your caramel wants to cling to the spoon, try mixing it into the coffee when it’s still hot and then pour over ice.
Top and Finish (Optional)
- Crown your glass with a big dollop of whipped cream. Drizzle extra caramel on top for that picture-perfect swirl.
Notes
- It may be easier to mix your caramel sauce into your coffee while it's still hot.
- If you want a more bold flavor, freeze leftover coffee into ice cubes instead of using plain ice. That way, as your drink chills out, the flavor stays strong.
