Mastering the Art of Perfect Caramel Iced Coffee at Home

Are you a lover of Dunkin’ Donuts Caramel Iced Coffee Swirl but wish to enjoy it at the comfort of your home?

To replicate the taste of Dunkin’ Donuts Caramel Iced Coffee Swirl at home, you can follow this simple recipe:

Ingredients:

Coffee (preferably a medium roast) Caramel Sauce (store-bought or homemade) Milk or Cream (whole milk, cream, or a milk alternative based on your preference) Ice (cubed or crushed) Optional Sweetener (sugar, simple syrup, or flavored syrups like vanilla)

Instructions:

Brew Coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method, be it drip, French press, or any other method. Aim for about 1-2 cups depending on how much you want to make. Cool the Coffee: Let the coffee cool to room temperature, or refrigerate it to chill. Prepare the Glass: Drizzle caramel sauce inside your glass, or mix some into the coffee if you prefer. Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice. Mix Coffee and Milk: Pour the chilled coffee over the ice, filling the glass about halfway. Add milk or cream to your desired creaminess, typically about 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Sweeten to Taste: If you like your coffee sweeter, add sugar, simple syrup, or flavored syrup. Stir well to combine. Top with Caramel: Drizzle more caramel sauce on top for added flavor and presentation. Serve: Stir gently and enjoy your homemade caramel iced coffee!

Tips for Authentic Flavor:

Caramel Sauce: If you're feeling adventurous, you can make your own caramel sauce by melting sugar until it turns golden brown, then adding cream and butter. Coffee Choice: Dunkin’ uses a specific blend, so experimenting with different coffee beans can help you find a match. Flavor Variations: Consider adding a splash of vanilla extract for an extra depth of flavor.

Alternative Method:

Another way to achieve the same flavor at home is by making a quick caramel iced coffee syrup. Combine Dunkin’ Creamer, Dunkin’ Iced Coffee, caramel syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and ice in a lidded jar like a mason jar. Seal and shake for 15 seconds until frothy. Pour the liquid and ice into a 12-16 oz. glass, top with whipped cream, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with cinnamon or baking chips.

Enjoy your homemade caramel iced coffee, and customize it according to your taste preferences!
