Ingredients
Coffee Base
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
Syrups
- 2 tablespoons caramel syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon hazelnut syrup
Dairy
- 1/2 cup milk or cream (or dairy-free alternative)
Others
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional for garnish)
- Additional caramel and hazelnut syrup for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Start with your favorite coffee brewed strong. Allow it to cool completely or chill it in the refrigerator to ensure the iced coffee stays cold and refreshing without diluting the flavor.
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes all the way to the brim to keep your iced coffee chilled and refreshing.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the cooled coffee over the ice. Add the caramel syrup and hazelnut syrup to the coffee and stir well to combine the sweet and nutty flavors thoroughly.
- Add Milk: Pour the milk or cream over the coffee and syrup mixture. Stir gently to create a beautiful swirl effect, adding creaminess that complements the coffee and syrups.
- Garnish and Serve: If desired, top your iced coffee with whipped cream and drizzle additional caramel and hazelnut syrup on top for an extra decadent touch. Serve immediately with a straw for the perfect finishing touch.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of caramel and hazelnut syrup to your desired sweetness level.
- Use dairy-free milk alternatives such as almond milk or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version.
- The coffee should be fully cooled before adding ice to prevent dilution.
- For an extra cold drink, chill the glass in the freezer before use.
- Optional whipped cream adds an indulgent texture and taste.
