Instructions
Starbuck serves this drink in a layered fashion and it looks pretty cool. You must stir it before sipping to blend in all the flavors.
Pour 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup into a tall (8-10 oz) serving glass.
Fill the glass ¾th with ice cubes.
Pour chilled milk over the ice and top it with espresso (or strongly brewed coffee).
Note – There is no need to cool down the espresso (or the coffee). Add it to the glass soon after brewing for best-tasting coffee.
Add some more ice cubes to fill the glass. Now drizzle caramel sauce on top and serve the coffee immediately with a stirrer. Stir well before drinking.
You can also top the glass with whipped cream and drizzle with more caramel sauce before serving.
Add more sweetener if the coffee is not sweet enough for your liking.
If kept for a longer time, this drink gets washed out, as the ice cubes start to melt. To retain the coffee flavor for a longer time, freeze some brewed coffee in ice cube trays. Use these coffee cubes in place of regular ice.
