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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the toppings.
  5. Top It Off: Add whipped cream on top if desired for a creamy finish.
  6. Garnish: Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the whipped cream to add a sweet and decorative touch.
  7. 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.
