iced cold brew caramel coffee

My favorite kind of coffee is vanilla flavored and I like it sweet. REAL sweet. I am one of those people that like a large cream to coffee ratio. It's not too much but more than the suggested serving size. At home, I brew Van Houtte French Vanilla Coffee in my Keurig and add a sizable amount of french vanilla creamer to it. It's the perfect vanilla taste without tasting artificial. Using a flavored creamer saves me from adding sugar. That's a win in my book!

At places like Starbucks, I still go for the sweet vanilla coffee taste by getting a Cafe Vanilla Frappuccino or an Iced Caramel Macchiato. Both of these have the taste that I'm going for but aren't always the friendliest with my pocketbook. To save some money I tried to make a homemade Vanilla Frappuccino, like the bottled kind. I could never get the right taste despite the recipes I found on Pinterest.

They ended up tasting more like a Caramel Macchiato to me but without the yummy caramel. It had me thinking about my Caramel Pecan Pie Bars, Caramel DeLites Mini Pies, anything and everything caramel. Caramel was on the brain so I HAD to scrap that thought and decided to make an Iced Cold Brew Caramel Macchiato instead. I was thrilled by the results. Deliciousness in a glass I tell ya!

Using Cold Brew Coffee

To make my Iced Cold Brew Caramel Macchiato, you guessed it, I used a cold brew coffee. It's called Cold Brew Kitchen. Cold brewing coffee couldn't be simpler. You just throw the coffee in a glass jar with water and steep for 12-24 hours. The result is amazing. You get a delicious coffee concentrate that is mellow and not bitter at all. I dare say it's even a bit sweet on its own.

cold brew Caramel Macchiato

I can't stand coffee that is too acidic. The bitter taste is not for me but cold brewing alleviates this. Cold Brew Kitchen's Elite Espresso Blend is everything an expresso should be – smooth and oh so rich with an intense flavor but with no bite. It's perfect!

I think cold brewing made my Iced Caramel Macchiato even better than Starbucks because I am not a fan of the bite. Not at all. Cold Brew Kitchen's Elite Espresso Blend is now my go-to coffee for this recipe! I love I can make a batch of this and it will last a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.

    I haven’t had a “good” coffee in so long. Since I don’t have an espresso maker with the foam attachment I just figured that specialized drinks weren’t anything I could make. I’ve bought the pre-made single serve store bottles but they are very pricey for the lackluster taste. This is an excellent sounding recipe for one of my favorite coffee shop picks. I’ve never heard of that brand either but you definitely had me at “low acidic”. I’ll be making these a lot. Thanks for the great recipe.

      Low acidic coffee is key for me too and this caramel macchiato def hits the spot! You could also get a Keurig with a frother (aff link) when you are wanting something fancier at home.

        Wow! Thats a gorgeous unit. I didn’t even know Keurig made those machines. Mine died last year so I have a cheap electric kettle little French press. I put it at the top of my wishlist and am prioritizing getting it. Thank you.

    I love iced coffees. My favorites are vanilla and caramel also. I bought an ice coffee toddy a number of years ago and it does well. However when I was emptying the grounds last year the filter must have come out with the grounds because I never found it. I’ve seen the French press but haven’t talked to anyone having yet.
