Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled to room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole, almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider (or apple juice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional Toppings: Whipped cream, extra caramel drizzle, fresh apple slices

Instructions

  1. Brew and Cool Coffee: Brew 1 cup of strong coffee and allow it to cool completely, or use cold brew for smoother flavor.
  2. Mix Milk and Cider: In a cup or shaker, combine milk and apple cider until well blended.
  3. Add Flavor: Stir in caramel sauce, cinnamon, and nutmeg until caramel fully dissolves and spices are evenly mixed.
  4. Assemble: Pour cooled coffee into a large glass, then slowly add the flavored milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes for a perfectly chilled drink.
  6. Top and Garnish: Add whipped cream, drizzle caramel, and garnish with fresh apple slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Caramel Apple Spice Iced Coffee fresh for the best flavor.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and coconut whipped cream. To reduce sugar, use sugar-free caramel syrup or maple syrup as a natural substitute. For stronger apple flavor, increase cider to 1/2 cup. Freeze leftover coffee into ice cubes for future drinks without dilution.
