Instructions
- Elegantly coat the interior of a medium-sized glass with a luxurious caramel swirl, ensuring an even and artistic distribution along the walls.
- Fill the glass generously with ice cubes, creating a chilled foundation for the beverage.
- Pour the freshly brewed espresso or smooth cold brew directly over the ice, allowing the rich coffee to cascade and mingle with the crystalline surface.
- Gently stream cold milk or your preferred dairy alternative into the glass, carefully maintaining a small margin of space near the rim to prevent overflow.
- Crown the iced coffee with a delicate cloud of whipped cream, creating a soft and pillowy topping.
- Finish the presentation by drizzling additional caramel sauce in an elegant pattern across the whipped cream, enhancing both visual appeal and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Drizzle caramel inside the glass first to create a delicious base layer that infuses flavor from bottom to top.
- Choose between espresso or cold brew depending on your preferred coffee strength and brewing method.
- Chill your glass beforehand for an extra refreshing drink that stays cold longer.
- Use whole milk for a richer texture or plant-based alternatives for a lighter, dietary-friendly version.
- Top with whipped cream for a luxurious cafe-style finish that elevates the entire beverage.
- Experiment with different caramel brands or homemade sauces to personalize your iced coffee experience.
