A Little Macchiato Backstory


A macchiato is a strong espresso that has a foamy top layer and is a favorite amongst Italians. They find it most enjoyable in the morning to get their day started right.

However, if you are wondering what an iced macchiato is, it’s a combination of espresso, vanilla, milk, and in today’s creation, caramel. It’s a popular drink that can be made in the comfort of your own home and enjoyed at any time of day.

It still contains those shots of espresso, so if you need the caffeine in the morning, an iced macchiato will be the drink for you.

The caramel and vanilla make an iced caramel macchiato perfect for those who want a sweet, foamy beverage.

Now that you know its story, you can use it to write a macchiato story of your own.

How to Make an Iced Caramel Macchiato


Before you begin, you want to make sure you have all the ingredients you need so that you don’t end up running to the store in the middle of making the drink.

So, let’s have a look at what’s in an iced caramel macchiato.iced caramel macchiato recipeFirstly, you’re going to need some caramel syrup or drizzle. This acts as one of our primary ingredients so that we can achieve that sweet caramel flavor.

For that shot of caffeine, we recommend using some of LifeBoosts products such as their dark roasted beans.

Depending on how strong you want the macchiato to be, deciding on what espresso powder works for you won’t be difficult.

Next up is the milk. If you are picky over what milk you drink, do not worry as any milk will be great in your iced caramel macchiato.

The next ingredient and our last stop at flavor town is vanilla.

Vanilla adds to the sweetness of the drink and combines with the caramel to create a flavor burst on your palette. Any vanilla syrup of your choice will be great.

The final ingredient is ice so start freezing some water if you haven’t already.

After brewing the blend, all that’s required is your choice of milk and your iced caramel macchiato will be ready to enjoy.

Onto the Steps


Step 1: Ready your cup and start by pouring 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup into it. This makes for a sweet vanilla base to enhance the flavor of the drink.

Step 2: If you want a milkier macchiato then add a full cup of milk. However, a ¾ cup of milk will be perfect. Once the milk is in the cup, begin stirring the milk so that the vanilla syrup blends well with it.

Step 3: There isn’t an exact measurement of ice cubes, but you want to fill the cup up with enough ice so that there’s still space on top for the espresso.

Step 4: Using the Lifeboost beans, grind and brew the coffee to your liking.

Depending on what beans you’ve purchased from Lifeboost will depend on how strong the caffeine in your iced caramel macchiato will be.

Start with 1 teaspoon if this is your first iced caramel macchiato and from there you can decide if you want it to be stronger.

Step 5: Add the espresso shot to the cup in a gentle motion. This ensures that the espresso doesn’t have an abrupt entry and keeps the drink layered before stirring.

Step 6: The final step is to add that beautiful caramel drizzle to the top of your drink before adding any lids or covers. Some coffee lovers enjoy an iced caramel macchiato with the sweet cream foam but simply adding milk will do the job.caramel macchiato icedOnce everything is added, stir that bad boy up and enjoy.
