Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup cold brew coffee
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1/3 cup whole milk
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons salted caramel syrup
- Caramel dessert sauce
Topping:
- Squirt whipped topping
Instructions
- Chill a tall glass by filling it completely with crisp, frosty ice cubes to create a cool foundation for the beverage.
- Gently cascade cold brew coffee over the ice, allowing it to settle and create a rich, smooth base.
- Introduce salted caramel syrup, carefully drizzling it along the inner rim of the glass to distribute flavor evenly.
- Stream whole milk into the coffee, using a long spoon to blend the ingredients until they harmonize into a creamy mixture.
- Crown the drink with a billowy cloud of whipped topping, creating an elegant and indulgent texture.
- Elegantly zigzag caramel dessert sauce across the whipped cream, enhancing both visual appeal and sweetness.
- Give a final, gentle stir to integrate all layers, ensuring each sip delivers a perfect balance of coffee, caramel, and cream.
Notes
- Use cold brew coffee for a smoother, less acidic taste that doesn’t water down quickly when poured over ice.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version that keeps the creamy texture.
- Make your own salted caramel syrup at home to control sugar levels and avoid artificial additives in store-bought syrups.
- Freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays to prevent dilution and create an extra-strong iced coffee experience.
