Iced Caramel Macchiato

A refreshing café-style drink featuring layers of vanilla syrup, cold milk, hot espresso, and a drizzle of caramel.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 2 tbsp Vanilla syrup
  • 2 oz Espresso (about one double shot) or 2 oz very strong brewed coffee
  • 3/4 cup Milk (whole milk, 2%, or dairy-free alternative such as oat or almond)
  • Ice (enough to fill a tall glass)

Instructions

  1. Spoon the vanilla syrup into the bottom of a tall glass and swirl it around.
  2. Fill the glass with ice up to the rim.
  3. Pour the cold milk over the ice, leaving room at the top for the espresso.
  4. Slowly pour the espresso over the back of a spoon held just above the milk, or gently pour directly.
  5. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the espresso and milk, adding more caramel to taste.

Notes

Use freshly brewed espresso for the best layer. For less sweetness, reduce the vanilla syrup to 1 tbsp. Whole milk or oat milk gives a richer mouthfeel.
