A quick and delicious 5-minute iced caramel latte recipe that combines rich espresso, sweet caramel syrup, and chilled milk to create a refreshing coffee treat perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces espresso (2 shots) or ½ cup strong coffee
  • 2 tablespoons caramel syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 4-6 ounces milk of choice (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare caramel syrup: If making homemade caramel syrup, prepare it in advance. This can be done ahead of time to save preparation time on the day you make the latte.
  2. Brew coffee: Brew 3 ounces of espresso (2 shots) or ½ cup of strong coffee. Alternatively, cold brew concentrate can be used.
  3. Combine espresso and caramel: Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into a drinking glass and stir in 2 tablespoons of caramel syrup until well mixed.
  4. Add ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink.
  5. Top with milk: Pour 4 to 6 ounces of milk of your choice over the ice and stir to combine the ingredients as needed.

Notes

  • Adjust milk quantity based on desired richness and strength.
  • Use any milk variety such as dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk depending on preference or dietary restrictions.
  • For a sweeter latte, increase the caramel syrup amount slightly.
  • Espresso is preferred for authenticity, but strong brewed coffee works well as a substitute.
  • Homemade caramel syrup can be prepared by simmering sugar and water until caramelized, then adding cream or butter for richness.
