Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cold)
- ½ cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- Ice cubes
Toppings
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Extra caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Brew 1 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method. Once brewed, allow the coffee to cool completely, preferably chilling it in the fridge to speed up the process.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the cold brewed coffee into a tall glass. Add ½ cup of apple cider, 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg to the glass.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture vigorously to ensure the caramel sauce dissolves fully and the spices are well distributed. Vigorous stirring prevents clumping and brings out the full flavor of the spices.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the toppings.
- Top It Off: Add whipped cream on top if desired for a creamy finish.
- Garnish: Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the whipped cream to add a sweet and decorative touch.
- Serve: Insert a straw and enjoy your caramel apple spice iced coffee before the ice melts for the best experience.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso or double the coffee grounds.
- Adjust the amount of caramel sauce based on your preferred sweetness level.
- To make this recipe vegan, substitute whipped cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free caramel sauce.
- Chilling the coffee beforehand is essential to keep the drink cold without diluting it too much with melting ice.
- Freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg can elevate the spice flavor.
