Iced Caramel Macchiato, a variant of the mango lassi but of American origin, often enjoyed on hot summer days. The stars of this delicious drink are espresso and caramel. A very simple recipe that takes just a few minutes to prepare for a summer breakfast.
In addition to espresso and caramel topping, you also need plenty of ice and milk for the iced caramel macchiato, some of which will be frothed with a milk frother to create a delicious creamy froth. Instead of espresso, you can also use a long coffee. You can also replace cow’s milk with almond milk. Moreover, if you are more skilled than I am in making caramel, you can make it yourself at home. I must confess I tried, but the result was not at all satisfying.
Energetic, fresh, and delicious, this drink is made in just a few minutes and is perfect for a breakfast that’s a little different from the usual. Curious to find out how to prepare it? Then let’s head to the kitchen because the iced caramel macchiato will be ready in a click!
