I often have days where I take great peace in the fact that I don’t have to leave the house. That doesn’t squash my coffee cravings, so I like to have a lot of recipes I can make from home.

When I am out and about forced to explore the real world, I most definitely reward myself with a trip through the drive-thru.

However, it’s amazing to have the option to whip up my favorite coffee drinks at home whenever I want, too.

No need to worry about seasonal flavors or items that go in and out of stock when you have a good batch of homemade coffee recipes in your arsenal.

As I type this, it’s painfully cold outside. Does that make me want hot coffee only? Nope.

I still crave iced coffee in the afternoon. My mornings are for cozy, hot coffee, while the afternoons are iced all the way.

No need to bundle up and venture out for my afternoon drink. Within minutes, I can whip up an iced caramel macchiato in my kitchen.

Heck, I can even get the blender out and turn it into a frappuccino if I want.

How to make the iced coffee


Brew some strong coffee so you can let it cool. I like to use a dark roast, and make sure it’s not too diluted with water. The ice and other ingredients will cut into the coffee flavor, so it’s best to start with a strong one.

Add the vanilla syrup into your tumbler. You can also use a glass or whatever you like to drink out of.

This iced coffee recipe is very refreshing and not overly sweet. If you like your drinks extra sweet, add more caramel topping to your liking.
