Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 2 shots espresso (or 1/4 cup very strong brewed coffee)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzle)
Instructions
- Prepare the caramel sauce if making from scratch, or measure out 2 tablespoons of store-bought sauce.
- Pour the vanilla syrup into the bottom of a tall glass.
- Add the milk to the glass over the syrup.
- Fill the glass almost to the top with ice cubes.
- Gently pour the 2 shots of espresso (or strong coffee) over the ice. Pour slowly to keep the layers separate initially.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top of the drink in a crosshatch pattern for presentation.
- Serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
- If you do not have an espresso maker, use 1/4 cup of coffee brewed very strong (e.g., using a Moka pot or French press).
- For a dairy-free option, use oat milk or almond milk; these work well with the flavor profile.
- Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup and caramel sauce to control the sweetness level.
- To achieve better layering, ensure your coffee is hot when pouring over the cold milk and ice.
