Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold brew coffee
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp sugar-free caramel syrup
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your cold brew coffee. If you have pre-made cold brew, simply measure out 1 cup and set it aside. If you need to make it, steep coarsely ground coffee in cold water for 12-24 hours, then strain.
- In a separate container, pour 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Use a whisk or a frother to whip the cream lightly until it thickens slightly, but do not over-whip. You want it to be pourable.
- Add 1 tablespoon of sugar-free caramel syrup to the whipped cream. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the syrup is evenly distributed throughout the cream.
- Take a glass and fill it with ice cubes to your desired level. Pour the prepared cold brew coffee over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full.
- Drizzle the caramel cream mixture on top of the cold brew. You can use a spoon to layer it gently or pour it directly for a more blended effect.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt over the top of the drink. This will enhance the flavor of the caramel and create a delightful contrast with the coffee.
- For an extra touch, you can drizzle more sugar-free caramel syrup on top as a garnish. Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon to mix it up.
Tips
- Quality Cold Brew: If you’re making your own cold brew, opt for high-quality, coarsely ground coffee for the best flavor. The longer you steep, the richer the taste—so don’t rush it!
- Whipping the Cream: When whipping the heavy cream, keep a close eye on it. You want a light, pourable consistency—over-whipping can lead to a thicker texture that won't blend well with your coffee.
- Layering Flavors: For a visually stunning drink, consider layering the caramel cream and cold brew. Pour the cream gently over the back of a spoon to create beautiful layers.
- Salt Balance: Adjust the sea salt to your taste. If you prefer a more pronounced salty flavor, feel free to add a pinch more—this will enhance the caramel's sweetness beautifully.
- Garnishing: Don’t hesitate to get creative with garnishes! A sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few coffee beans can add an extra touch of elegance to your drink.
- Make it Your Own: Experiment with different sugar-free syrups or flavors to customize your cold brew. Vanilla or hazelnut can add a delightful twist to your salted caramel creation!
