Iced Caramel Macchiato

A Caramel Macchiato is a popular coffee drink made with espresso, steamed milk, vanilla syrup, and caramel sauce. “Macchiato” means “marked” in Italian, referring to the way the espresso is “marked” or poured on top of the milk rather than mixed, creating layers in the drink. Here’s how it typically breaks down:

• Ingredients: Espresso, steamed milk, vanilla syrup, and caramel drizzle.
• Taste: It has a balanced sweetness from the vanilla and caramel, with a slight bitterness from the espresso on top.
• Texture: Creamy and smooth due to the steamed milk, with a rich caramel flavor.

Iced Caramel Macchiato

An Iced Caramel Macchiato has a similar flavor profile but is served cold and has slightly different layering.

• Ingredients: Cold milk, ice, vanilla syrup, espresso, and caramel drizzle.
• Taste: The cold milk and ice create a refreshing version of the caramel macchiato, but it’s a bit lighter and more refreshing.
• Texture: Smooth and cool, with a layered effect where the espresso floats atop the milk.

For both versions, the caramel drizzle adds a sweet, buttery finish to each sip.
