Beat the Heat with Kaldi's Caramel Creme: 3 Ways to Brew an Iced Treat
Welcome back to the Brew Better Blog! August is here, and with it comes a craving for refreshing, cool drinks that still deliver on rich, comforting flavor. This month's Kaldi Select, Caramel Creme, is the perfect brew to satisfy that desire.
Known for its buttery-sweet notes of caramel and vanilla, our Caramel Creme flavored coffee is a decadent treat that tastes incredible whether hot or iced. We've put together three simple recipes to help you make the most of this delicious August pick.
1. The Quick & Easy Caramel Creme Iced Coffee
This is the simplest way to enjoy the full flavor of Caramel Creme without any frills. It's perfect for those busy mornings or an effortless afternoon pick-me-up.
You'll need:
- Kaldi's Caramel Creme coffee, brewed strong.
- Ice cubes
- A splash of your favorite milk or cream (optional).
Method:
- Brew your coffee as you normally would, but use a bit more coffee grounds than usual to make it stronger.
- Fill a glass with ice.
- Pour the hot, freshly brewed coffee directly over the ice. The heat will melt some of the ice, cooling the coffee to the perfect temperature.
- Add a splash of milk or cream if desired, and enjoy!
2. The Iced Caramel Creme Latte
Elevate your iced coffee game with this creamy and delicious latte recipe. The addition of steamed milk (or cold foam!) and a touch of syrup really brings out the dessert-like qualities of the Caramel Creme.
You'll need:
- Kaldi's Caramel Creme coffee, brewed strong.
- Your milk of choice (whole, oat, or almond milk works great).
- A pump of Torani Classic Caramel Syrup.
- Ice cubes.
Method:
- Brew your strong Caramel Creme coffee and let it cool slightly.
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Add the Torani Caramel Syrup to the bottom of the glass.
- Pour in your cooled coffee, filling the glass about halfway.
- Fill the rest of the glass with your steamed milk (or cold foam) of choice. Give it a gentle stir and savor every sip!
3. The Blended Caramel Creme Frappe
For the ultimate frozen treat, turn your August coffee into a rich and creamy frappe. This is a perfect dessert-in-a-glass for the hottest days of the month.
You'll need:
- 1/2 cup of strong, cold Kaldi's Caramel Creme coffee.
- 1/2 cup of your milk of choice.
- 1 scoop of a Big Train Blended Ice Mix (caramel or vanilla works perfectly).
- A handful of ice cubes.
Method:
- Combine the cold coffee, milk, Big Train mix, and ice cubes in a blender.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and has a thick, frosty consistency.
- Pour into a glass and, for an extra touch of indulgence, top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce!
