If you’re after a smooth and café-style iced coffee with just the right balance of bold and sweet, this caramel cream cold brew delivers every time. It’s rich, refreshing, and simple to make—elevated by the deep, buttery flavor of Syruvia Caramel Syrup, available in both pure cane and sugar-free options to suit your preference.
This is more than your everyday caramel cold brew. With its velvety cream top and clean caramel sweetness, it’s a treat that feels indulgent yet easy enough for any morning or afternoon reset.
Ingredients (Serves 1)
- ¾ cup cold brew coffee
- ¼ cup milk or half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons caramel syrup (divided)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- Ice cubes
Instructions
Start by sweetening your cold brew. In a glass, mix 1 tablespoon of caramel syrup with the cold brew coffee. Stir well to fully dissolve the syrup into the coffee, letting the caramel notes round out the cold brew’s boldness.
Add ice to the glass, then pour in the milk, leaving a bit of space at the top for the cream.
In a separate bowl or small mixing cup, whisk the heavy cream with the remaining tablespoon of caramel syrup. Whisk just until the cream thickens slightly into a soft, pourable texture. You can use a hand frother, whisk, or even shake it in a jar.
Pour the whipped cream gently over the back of a spoon to create a soft layer floating over the drink. This gives the caramel cream cold brew its signature café look and silky finish.
If you like, top it with a light drizzle of caramel for extra sweetness and a picture-perfect finish.
