Ingredients
- ○ 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- ○ ½ cup milk (whole, almond, or oat)
- ○ 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- ○ 1 tbsp toffee bits (plus extra for topping)
- ○ 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener (optional)
- ○ ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ○ ½ cup ice cubes
- ○ Whipped cream for topping
Equipment Needed
- Tall glass
- Spoon for stirring
- Measuring spoons & cups
- Whisk (for mixing caramel into milk)
- Ice cube tray (if making ice at home)
Instructions
- Brew 1 cup of strong coffee and let it cool completely. You can chill it in the fridge for faster results.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup milk, 2 tbsp caramel sauce, and ½ tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fill a tall glass with ½ cup of ice cubes. Pour in the cooled coffee, then the caramel milk mixture. Stir gently.
- Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of toffee bits.
Tips & Variations
- ✔ Drink cold coffee! Hot coffee will melt the ice too fast and water it down. Brew it ahead and chill it.
- ✔ Blending for a frappe? Skip the ice cubes and blend everything together for a thick, slushy drink.
- ✔ Want it extra creamy? Instead of milk, use half-and-half or heavy cream. If you want it to be less sweet, cut back on the caramel sauce and toffee, or use unsweetened milk.
- ✔ No toffee bits? Try crushed nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a different twist!
Dietary & Flavor Adjustments
- Dairy-Free: Use almond, oat, or coconut milk and dairy-free caramel sauce.
- Sugar-Free: Use sugar-free caramel sauce and a sugar substitute.
- Stronger Coffee Flavor: Use espresso instead of brewed coffee.
- Extra Crunchy: Add more toffee bits on top or mix some into the drink.
Storage & Preparation Advice
- Brew your coffee the night before and chill it in the fridge.
- Pre-mix the milk, caramel, and vanilla so it’s ready to pour.
- If you want a stronger iced coffee that doesn’t taste watered down, freeze coffee into ice cubes.
- It’s best when it’s fresh, but you can keep it in the fridge for a few hours without the ice.
- If storing, give it a good stir before drinking since the ingredients may settle.
- Avoid freezing—it’ll mess with the texture.
