• ¾ cup milk (any kind)
• 2 tablespoons caramel syrup
• Ice cubes

DIRECTIONS

• Step No.1: Brew the coffee or espresso
  Prepare strong brewed coffee or use 2 shots of espresso. Allow it to cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge.

• Step No.2: Add caramel syrup to the glass
  Drizzle caramel syrup into your glass. You can coat the sides or simply pour it straight in.

• Step No.3: Fill the glass with ice

• Step No.4: Pour in the coffee
  Slowly pour the cooled coffee or espresso over the ice. Let it mix slightly with the caramel.

• Step No.5: Add the milk
  Top the drink with your choice of milk. Stir gently to combine the layers or leave as-is for a pretty presentation.

• Step No.6: Optional toppings
  Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Use strong coffee: A rich espresso or dark roast makes sure the coffee flavour stands up to the sweet caramel.

• Chill espresso first: Let your coffee cool slightly before pouring it over ice to prevent melting too quickly.

• Adjust sweetness to taste: Add more or less caramel syrup depending on how sweet you like your latte.

• Use cold milk: Cold milk keeps the drink refreshing and prevents it from watering down too fast.

• Add vanilla if desired: A drop of vanilla extract adds depth and a subtle flavour twist to your iced drink.

• Stir well before drinking: Make sure everything blends evenly, especially if adding whipped cream or caramel on top.

VARIATIONS

• salted caramel twist: Use salted caramel syrup for a delicious sweet-salty combo that’s extra indulgent.

• Oat milk version: Substitute with oat milk for a creamy, dairy-free version that’s perfect for vegan diet or lactose-free drinkers.

• Decaf friendly: Use decaf espresso or coffee if you want to enjoy this drink in the evening without the caffeine.

• Blended frappe style: Blend all ingredients with ice for a frosty, thicker version of the classic iced caramel latte.

• Add cinnamon or nutmeg: A sprinkle of warm spices can give your latte a comforting, slightly spiced flavour.

• Iced mocha caramel latte: Mix in a teaspoon of cocoa powder with the caramel for a chocolatey-caramel twist.
