CARAMEL & VANILLA ICED COFFEE
This coffee is a staple for me! As someone who enjoys a nice iced coffee of both caramel and vanilla, this one hits the spot!
The Nescafé can be found at your local Walmart or Target. I would recommend if you do like the Nescafé grounds, grab this large jar (like the one in my picture) at Costco! You get double the size you get at Walmart or Target for way cheaper!
This does contain a lot of milk so proceed with caution if you are someone who is lactose intolerant.
I would recommend using milk or a milk alternative rather than water. This helps create that creamy consistency!

If you're a fan of iced coffee, blending caramel and vanilla flavors can really elevate your coffee experience. From my personal experience, using instant coffee like Nescafé Gold Espresso Blonde creates a rich and velvety crema that serves as a fantastic base. To get the best flavor, I recommend combining about 2 teaspoons of the espresso with a mix of half and half and milk — this adds creaminess that water alone can't achieve. For those who may be lactose intolerant, almond milk or oat milk are excellent substitutes without compromising the texture. For a sweet twist, adding Torani's zero-calorie caramel or sugar-free vanilla beverage sauce is a game-changer. I usually add about 1 tablespoon of each to balance the bitterness from the espresso without making it overly sweet. If you enjoy a frothy drink, shaking or using a milk frother to froth the cream and milk mixture boosts the flavor and mouthfeel. A handy tip is to buy Nescafé Gold Espresso in bulk from outlets like Costco, as it provides better value than smaller jars found in Walmart or Target. This way, you can whip up this delicious iced coffee more often without worrying about running out. Also, when serving, add plenty of ice to keep the drink refreshingly cold. If you want to indulge further, topping your iced coffee with a bit of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce elevates it into a café-style treat. Overall, this caramel and vanilla iced coffee is an easy-to-make, flavorful delight that's perfect for warm days or whenever you need a creamy coffee fix.
