- 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract

- Small saucepan

Pro Tips for the Best Iced Coffee
- Brew your coffee ahead of time – Let it cool completely to prevent a watered-down drink.
- Use high-quality caramel – A thick, rich caramel sauce makes a big difference in flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness – If you like it sweeter, add more caramel or sugar; if not, reduce it.
- Chill your glass – A cold glass keeps your iced coffee from melting too quickly.
- Blend for a frappe vibe – Throw everything in a blender with ice for a thicker, blended version.
Substitutions & Variations
- Milk options: Use almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- Sugar-free: Swap in sugar-free caramel and sweeteners for a lighter drink.
- Stronger coffee: Use cold brew instead of regular coffee for a bolder flavor.
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of milk, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat.
Step 2: Mix the Coffee & Caramel
In a coffee mug or measuring cup, stir together the cooled coffee, caramel sauce, sugar (if using), and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 3: Combine Everything
Pour the melted white chocolate mixture into the coffee mixture, stirring well. Then add the remaining ½ cup of milk and stir again.
Step 4: Assemble the Drink
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, then pour the coffee mixture over the ice.
Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches
Top with whipped cream and a generous drizzle of extra caramel sauce.
Leftovers & Storage Tips
- Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store the coffee mixture (before adding ice) in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Make a batch and keep it chilled for quick iced coffee anytime!
- Freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays to use later without watering down your drink.
