This iced coffee starts with a shot of bold espresso poured over vanilla milk, then gets swirled with buttery caramel sauce for a coffeehouse-style treat at home. A hint of orange zest adds a subtle citrus note that brightens the deep coffee and sweet caramel flavors. Serve it over ice for a refreshing pick-me-up any time of day.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces espresso, freshly brewed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest, finely grated
  • 6 ounces whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Method

  1. Fill a tall glass with the ice cubes.

  2. Pour the milk over the ice, then stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest.

  3. Slowly pour the freshly brewed espresso over the milk, letting it layer on top.

  4. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the drink in a spiral pattern.

  5. Stir gently just before drinking to blend the layers, or sip through the layers for a gradual flavor change.
