Tips for the Perfect Iced Caramel Macchiato
Use freshly brewed espresso. Strong espresso balances the sweetness of the vanilla and caramel.
Make it extra creamy. Whole milk gives the latte a rich, smooth texture, but 2% or your favorite milk alternative works too.
Get those beautiful layers. Pour the espresso slowly over the milk and ice instead of stirring everything together.
Don’t overwhip the cold foam. You want it thick and creamy but still pourable, not stiff like whipped cream.
Adjust the sweetness. Start with less vanilla syrup or caramel sauce if you prefer a less sweet drink.
