Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by brewing 1 cup of your favorite coffee. Allow it to cool to room temperature. You can speed up the cooling process by placing the brewed coffee in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Once the coffee is cooled, gather all your ingredients: the cooled coffee, 1/2 cup of milk (your choice of dairy or non-dairy), 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce, and ice cubes.
- In a tall glass, add a generous amount of ice cubes to create a refreshing base for your latte.
- Pour the cooled brewed coffee over the ice cubes in the glass, filling it about halfway.
- Next, add 1/2 cup of your chosen milk to the glass, pouring it gently over the coffee and ice to create a layered effect.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce over the top of the latte. You can stir it in gently if you prefer a sweeter, more uniform flavor, or leave it layered for a beautiful presentation.
- If desired, top your iced caramel latte with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch. You can also drizzle a little more caramel sauce on top of the whipped cream for added flavor and decoration.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon, and enjoy your delicious and refreshing healthy iced caramel latte!
Tips
- Coffee Temperature Matters: Allow your coffee to cool completely to prevent dilution and maintain rich flavor intensity.
- Milk Selection: Choose your milk wisely! Opt for almond, oat, or low-fat dairy to keep the drink lighter and more nutritious.
- Caramel Sauce Hack: For a healthier alternative, use sugar-free caramel sauce or make your own with natural sweeteners.
- Ice Quality: Use filtered water for crystal-clear ice cubes that won't compromise your drink's taste.
- Presentation is Key: Layer your ingredients slowly for a stunning visual effect that looks as good as it tastes.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust caramel sauce quantity to match your personal taste preferences.
