Brew Your Coffee
Brew a strong cup of coffee or pull a shot of espresso, depending on your preference. Allow it to cool to room temperature to prevent melting the ice too quickly.

For extra indulgence, top your Iced Caramel Latte with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel syrup. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt for a salted caramel twist.
