How to Make Starbucks Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew?

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass

Start by filling a glass with ice. The ice will chill your coffee and keep it refreshingly cool. Pour in 1 cup of cold brew coffee, followed by 1/4 cup of caramel syrup. Please give it a gentle stir to mix the caramel into the coffee.

Step 2: Froth the Milk

In a separate glass or using this frother pitcher, froth 1 cup of milk. You can use a frother, or if you don’t have one, shake the milk vigorously in a jar or use a whisk. The goal is to create a light, airy foam floating beautifully on top of your cold brew.

Step 3: Make the Caramel Cream

In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream with 1 tablespoon of fresh caramel. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the cream until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency. It should be fluffy and hold its shape. This is the pièce de résistance of your drink!

Step 4: Assemble Your Drink

Pour the frothed milk over your cold brew coffee. The creamy milk will mix with the caramel syrup to create a deliciously layered flavor profile. Next, gently spoon the whipped caramel cream on the milk and coffee mixture. It should sit beautifully on top, creating a visually stunning and delicious drink.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches

For the final touch, sprinkle a pinch of salt over the caramel cream. This will enhance the caramel flavor and give it that signature salted caramel taste. Drizzle a bit of extra fresh caramel over the top for an added touch of sweetness and elegance.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Stir gently if you prefer a blended flavor, or sip it as is to enjoy the layers of flavor. Take a moment to savor every sip of your homemade Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew. You’ve earned it!

Zulay's Expert Tips for Perfecting Your Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew

Choose Quality Cold Brew: The better your cold brew coffee, the better your drink will taste. If you’re making your own, use a strong coffee blend and let it steep for at least 12 hours.
Experiment with Milk: Try different types of milk to find your perfect match. Oat milk and almond milk add a unique flavor and are great for those avoiding dairy.
Control the Sweetness: Adjust the amount of caramel syrup to your taste. You can reduce the syrup or use a sugar-free alternative if you prefer it less sweet.
Make It Ahead: You can prepare the caramel cream in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a quick whisk before using it.
