This iced caramel macchiato has the perfect balance of coffee, vanilla, milk, and caramel. This sweet and creamy summer drink can easily be made at home with an iced coffee concentrate like Gevalia Cold Brew Concentrate - House Blend.
For an elevated experience, use high-quality vanilla syrup and caramel sauce. The layering is key for this drink's visual appeal and flavor progression; pour liquids slowly over the ice to maintain distinct layers. Ensure all ingredients, especially the cold brew and milk, are well chilled for optimal enjoyment and to prevent rapid ice melt. For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk or a dairy alternative like oat milk. A fine stream pour for the cold brew will create the classic macchiato 'mark' on top. Adjust syrup and caramel quantities to personal sweetness preference, or add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel for a salted caramel macchiato variation.
