Ingredients
Scale
Drink Base
- 1 cup cold brew coffee (store-bought or homemade)
- Ice cubes
Sweeteners
- 1–2 tablespoons caramel drizzle
- 1 tablespoon caramel syrup (adjust to taste; use 2 tablespoons if you prefer sweeter)
Dairy Alternative
- 1/4 cup oat milk (adjust to preference)
Instructions
- Caramel Drizzle: Start by drizzling caramel sauce on the inside of your serving glass. Be generous if you want your iced coffee sweeter and to create an appealing presentation.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes up to the top to chill the coffee properly.
- Pour Cold Brew Coffee: Gently pour 1 cup of cold brew coffee over the ice. Cold brew brings a smooth, full-bodied flavor that is less acidic than regular coffee.
- Add Caramel Syrup: Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of caramel syrup into the glass depending on your sweetness preference. Stirring at the end will help distribute this flavor.
- Add Oat Milk: Pour 1/4 cup of oat milk into the glass. Feel free to adjust to achieve your desired creaminess and texture.
- Mix: Stir the drink thoroughly to blend the caramel, coffee, and oat milk evenly for a balanced flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Insert a straw, give the drink a final stir, and enjoy your refreshing caramel iced coffee immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute oat milk with any milk or milk alternative such as almond milk, soy milk, or regular dairy milk based on dietary preferences.
- Adjust the amount of caramel drizzle and syrup to fit your preferred sweetness level.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use a more concentrated cold brew or reduce the milk slightly.
- To make your own cold brew coffee, steep coarsely ground coffee beans in cold water for 12-24 hours and strain.
- Use a glass with a wide opening to enjoy the caramel drizzle aesthetic and easier mixing.
