30 minutes
Iced caramel coffee is a refined blend of espresso and caramel encased in a cool, creamy texture. This drink is inspired by French coffee traditions where caramel serves not only as a flavorful addition but also as a source of sophistication. First, golden caramel is prepared that melts in hot water gaining a rich flavor. It is then combined with strong instant espresso and aromatic vanilla to create the perfect base. The mixture is further enriched with milk, cream, and icy freshness giving the drink airiness and softness. The finished coffee is topped with whipped cream creating a harmony of sweet and rich taste. This drink is perfect for a summer day providing refreshment and refined pleasure in every sip.
