Cold Brew Caramel Macchiato
One of the most popular drinks at coffee houses across the country is the Caramel Macchiato. Characterized by hints of vanilla and caramel, this beverage is best served hot, in a mug, covered in whipped cream.
For all the caramel macchiato aficionados out there, we have the ultimate homemade cold brew recipe for you! We call it the Cold Brew Caramel Macchiato. Before starting this recipe, we sure that you have access to a stove, and the following ingredients: cold brew concentrate, hot water, sugar, heavy whipping cream, butter, light brown sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Let’s get started!
The most complex part of this recipe is making your caramel sauce. Be sure that you stir your caramel sauce consistently when heating, or it will bubble and dry up on you (we want silky smooth caramel sauce). Aside from that, the stovetop component of this recipe is fairly straightforward.
One final point here – While this beverage is meant to be served hot, you can most certainly turn it into an iced coffee. Instead of using hot water, simply substitute cold filtered water instead, and pour your cold water and cold brew concentrate over ice.

Pictures on this one don’t lie, the process looks really weird while you’re making it. But it smells amazing and tastes good too!!
I thought the caramel sauce was going to be a bit difficult, but honestly, it wasn’t too hard. Just put everything in the pan and out came this delicious syrup. So good!
This is by far my favorite recipes of all the ones I’ve tried out. I made a vegan option of it, maybe they’ll put vegan options substitutes for this and other recipes!
Caramel + Cold Brew = 2 thumbs up
Also, try it with some chocolate sauce too!!
