Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 0.25 cup coconut sugar
- 0.25 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
To make the vegan caramel sauce, combine coconut sugar and coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar completely dissolves, and bring it to a gentle boil for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Let it cool to room temperature.
Brew a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method and let it cool. You can refrigerate it to speed up the process.
In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, unsweetened almond milk, and about 2 tablespoons of the vegan caramel sauce.
Blend until smooth and frothy.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes and pour the blended coffee mixture over the ice.
Drizzle additional caramel sauce on top for added sweetness, if desired.
Stir gently and serve immediately for a refreshing treat.
