An Iced Caramel Macchiato is a popular coffee beverage enjoyed worldwide. It typically consists of espresso, milk, and caramel syrup, served over ice. The name “macchiato” translates to “stained” or “spotted” in Italian, referring to the way the espresso is poured over the milk, creating a layered and visually appealing drink. With its combination of rich espresso, creamy milk, and sweet caramel flavor, the Iced Caramel Macchiato is a refreshing and indulgent treat for coffee enthusiasts.
Ingredients
- 1-2 shots of espresso (or strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup of milk (any type you prefer, such as whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
- Caramel syrup or caramel sauce
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Brew your espresso or strong coffee. You can use an espresso machine, a stovetop espresso maker (like a Moka pot), or a French press for this step.
- While the espresso is brewing, fill a glass with ice cubes.
- Once the espresso is ready, allow it to cool slightly.
- In a separate container, heat the milk until warm. You can do this on the stovetop or in the microwave. Be careful not to overheat the milk; you want it warm, not boiling.
- Froth the warm milk using a milk frother, handheld frother, or by vigorously shaking it in a tightly sealed container.
- Pour the frothed milk over the ice cubes in the glass, filling it about two-thirds of the way.
- Slowly pour the espresso over the frothed milk. The espresso should create a “macchiato” effect by settling on top of the milk layers.
- Drizzle caramel syrup or caramel sauce over the top of the drink, as much as desired.
- Stir gently to combine the flavors, if desired.
- Optionally, you can garnish the drink with a drizzle of additional caramel sauce or whipped cream.
- Enjoy your homemade Iced Caramel Macchiato!
Feel free to adjust the ingredients and proportions to suit your taste preferences. You can also experiment with adding flavors like vanilla or cinnamon for variation.
