Notes

💡 Quick Tips

  • Adjust sweetness: Add more or less caramel, or use vanilla or chocolate syrup instead.
  • Stronger coffee: Use strong-brewed coffee or espresso for a bold flavor.
  • Creaminess: Skim milk for light, half-and-half or cream for rich taste.
  • Frothy option: Blend all ingredients for a frappuccino-style drink.
  • Fast fix: Use instant coffee mixed with hot water if brewed coffee isn’t ready.
