INGREDIENT NOTES:

COLD BREW COFFEE:

• For this vegan beverage, you will use cold brew coffee because it does not feel heavy to drink. It is better than hot coffee because it will not give you a lot of acidity. Prepare this in your kitchen if that is easy for you. Otherwise, get it from a store for your ease. Another idea that you can use for this ingredient is strong, chilled coffee.

UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK:

• This is a vegan recipe, so you need to choose plant milk. For this beverage, we chose the unsweetened almond milk. This will keep your beverage feeling light. The caramel cold brew will become creamy when you decide to use it too. Soy or coconut milk can also work okay for this recipe.

VEGAN CARAMEL SYRUP:

• The main caramel taste will come along when you add caramel syrup. Of course, this caramel syrup has to be vegan as well, so use the vegan one. The taste of the beverage will become sweeter when you use this. Sugar-free vegan caranel syrup can be an option for your use as well.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

• You can remove its use if you want to, but adding it will give you a good taste. The taste of caramel will become richer when you decide to include it in the beverage. A little bit of cinnamon can also work for you.

ICE CUBES:

• We will use the ice cubes to chill and freshen the beverage. Instead of ice cubes, you can try using normal ice as well.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

TIPS:
