Caramel Cold Coffee Recipe

Ingredients

For the caramel syrup:

• ½ cup sugar
• ¼ cup water (for caramelising)
• ¼–½ cup hot water (to make the syrup)

For the cold coffee:

• 2 cups chilled milk
• 2 tsp instant coffee powder
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 2–3 tbsp prepared caramel syrup (adjust to taste)
• Ice cubes

For garnish:

• Sweetened whipped cream
• Cookie (optional)

Method

1. Add the sugar and water to a saucepan.

2. Cook on medium heat without stirring until the sugar starts caramelising.

3. Let it turn a deep golden-brown colour for a rich caramel flavour.

4. Turn off the heat and carefully add hot water. Stir continuously until the caramel dissolves completely into a smooth syrup.

5. Allow the syrup to cool completely. Store it in an airtight container for later use.

6. In a blender, combine chilled milk, instant coffee powder, vanilla essence, and the cooled caramel syrup.

7. Blend until smooth and frothy.

8. Fill a serving glass with ice cubes.

9. Pour the caramel coffee over the ice until the glass is full.

10. Top with sweetened whipped cream and garnish with a cookie, if desired.

Serving tip

Serve immediately for a creamy, café-style caramel cold coffee. The homemade caramel syrup can also be used to flavour milkshakes, iced coffees and desserts.
