How to Make an Iced Caramel Latte
You can jump to the recipe card for full ingredients & instructions!
- Combine the espresso and caramel sauce.
- Add ice and milk, stir, and enjoy.
Use your favorite kind of caramel sauce or syrup for this latte. Regular or sugar-free options both work great. Ghirardelli caramel sauce is my go-to!
Chocolate pairs wonderfully with espresso and caramel. Feel free to use half chocolate and half caramel sauce for a little something different.
Any kind of milk, dairy or non-dairy, works wonderfully! Some of my favorite non-dairy milks to use for lattes are oat milk , almond, and macadamia nut milks. You can also use heavy cream or a splash of half-and-half instead of milk.
While it certainly tastes like coffee, the espresso flavor isn’t too strong. The caramel and milk both add sweetness that lessen the intensity of the espresso.
Undeniably delicious, this iced caramel latte will quickly become your new favorite way to drink coffee! Pair it with these Air Fryer Donuts or a homemade croissant , and you’ll be set!
Tips!
- Add ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the espresso/caramel mixture for an extra burst of flavor.
- For a totally over the top iced latte, add a spoonful of whipped cream before serving. The sweetest finishing touch!
- To make a salted caramel latte, drizzle caramel sauce on top and add a pinch of salt.
Skip the Starbucks line and make this copycat iced caramel latte at home! It’s decadent and totally tastes like the original.
Sweet, refreshing, and ready in minutes, add this iced caramel latte to your morning routine!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
