Easy Iced Caramel Latte FAQs
Yes, you can make the coffee ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Mix with milk and caramel sauce when ready to serve.
If the latte is too thin, it may be due to weak coffee or not enough caramel sauce. Brew stronger coffee or add more caramel to achieve the desired consistency.
Freezing is not recommended as it can affect the texture and flavor of the latte.
Use full-fat milk or add a splash of cream for a richer texture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
If you cannot use coffee, try using strong brewed tea or a coffee alternative like chicory root. Adjust the sweetness to your taste.
