A caramel iced latte is a chilled espresso drink with cold milk, caramel syrup, and ice. It tastes sweet, creamy, and smooth. You get the bold kick of coffee, softened by milk and rich caramel. It works as a quick treat in the afternoon or a sweet start to your day. You can control the strength, sweetness, and milk type, so the drink fits your taste and diet at home.
Caramel Iced Latte – Parveen Coffee
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
-
Brew 60 ml of espresso. If you do not have espresso, make a small amount of very strong coffee.
-
Let the hot coffee cool for 3 to 5 minutes so it does not melt the ice too fast.
-
Add caramel syrup to the warm coffee and stir until it fully dissolves. Taste and adjust the syrup if needed.
-
Fill a tall glass almost to the top with ice cubes. Use solid cubes so the drink stays strong longer.
-
Pour the caramel coffee mixture over the ice in the glass. Stir once to chill it evenly.
-
Measure 150 to 200 ml of cold milk. Use less milk for a stronger coffee taste, more for a milder drink.
-
Pour the cold milk slowly over the coffee and ice. Leave a little space at the top of the glass.
-
Taste the drink. Add sugar or another sweetener only if you want it sweeter, then stir again.
-
Top with whipped cream if you like. Drizzle a little extra caramel over the top. Serve at once while very cold.
Notes
- Use good quality espresso for a cleaner flavor.
- If the drink feels too sweet, reduce caramel syrup and skip extra sugar.
- For a stronger coffee profile, add an extra espresso shot and keep the milk amount the same.
- You can prepare a small bottle of caramel coffee base in advance and keep it in the fridge for faster drinks.
