Caramel Iced Coffee (Printable Version)

Icy coffee with caramel, vanilla, and espresso fixes your sweet cravings in just a few minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - A handful of ice cubes to fill a 475ml cup
02 - 30 ml fresh espresso, just made
03 - 180 ml milk (go for 2%, or swap in almond or cashew milk if you want a dairy-free tip)
04 - Caramel sauce to swirl inside your cup
05 - 3 tbsp vanilla syrup

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Pour in your hot espresso on top and give it a quick swirl. Grab your straw and sip right away.
02 - Splash in the vanilla syrup, then stir well so it gets all mixed through.
03 - Top the ice with cold milk—use the kind you like best.
04 - Fill up your glass all the way with ice cubes. More ice means a colder drink.
05 - Tilt the cup and swirl caramel up the sides and bottom so it sticks all around.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Pick coffee beans that were roasted recently. The fresher, the better. Ignore the expiry date.
02 - Make sure to add your espresso right after pulling the shot. Waiting will kill the flavor and crema.
03 - Start with really cold milk. It'll keep your drink chilly and stop the ice from melting too quick.
04 - Use ice that's just been made. Old ice can take on weird freezer tastes.
05 - Drink up soon before the ice has a chance to water things down and throw off the flavors.
