- 1 cup ice
- 2 tbsp half and half (or favorite creamer)
Instructions
- Add caramel syrup: In a tall glass, add 2 tablespoons of caramel simple syrup. For a decorative touch, drizzle the syrup down the sides of the glass instead of just pouring it straight in.
- Pour cold coffee: Pour 8 ounces of cold coffee into the glass over the caramel syrup.
- Add ice: Add 1 cup of ice cubes or more to fill the glass and chill the drink thoroughly.
- Add creamer: Pour in 2 tablespoons of half and half or your favorite creamer to add creaminess.
- Stir and enjoy: Stir the drink well to combine all ingredients, taste to adjust sweetness if necessary, and enjoy your refreshing caramel iced coffee.
Notes
- For homemade caramel simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water, heat until sugar dissolves, then stir in caramelized sugar or caramel sauce to taste.
- Use cold brew or chilled brewed coffee for best flavor and less bitterness.
- Adjust caramel syrup amount based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Alternative milk or creamers such as almond milk or oat milk can be used for a dairy-free option.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, add more coffee or reduce the amount of creamer.
