Ingredients
Caramel Syrup
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup water
Iced Caramel Macchiato
- 1.5 tbsp caramel syrup
- 1 tbsp instant coffee powder (or espresso powder) (makes about 2 shots)
- 6 tbsp water
- ¾ cup milk
- ice
- optional caramel drizzle
Instructions
Caramel Syrup
- If you don't have caramel syrup, you can make your own by heating a small saucepan with sugar over medium-low heat.
- Allow the sugar crystals to melt and dissolve. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Don't rush it, sugar burns easily. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- As the crystals dissolve and start to turn golden brown, continue stirring. After they are all dissolved and golden brown (if you have some clumping it's okay - it'll dissolve when you add the water).
- Add the water - TAKE CARE as it'll sputter.
- Some sugar may harden, so continue to heat until it is all dissolved again. Once it's all liquid, remove from heat and store in an airtight container.
Iced Caramel Macchiato
- Dissolve the instant coffee or espresso powder in 6 tbsp of water.
- Add caramel syrup to the bottom of a glass. Start with 1 to 1.5 tbsp of the caramel syrup. You can add more to taste at the end.
- Then add milk. Once you have the milk in the cup, bring it to almost the top with ice. Pour the dissolved coffee over the top.
- Optional: drizzle with caramel topping. Mix and taste, adjust sweetness if needed. Enjoy!
