Brown Sugar Iced Coffee Latte – Sweet, Smooth, and Seriously Addictive
Let’s be honest—coffee is life. But sometimes, plain black coffee just won’t cut it. You need something creamy, sweet, and fancy enough to make you feel like a professional barista (without the overpriced coffee shop visit). That’s where the Brown Sugar Iced Coffee Latte comes in. It’s smooth, sweet, and refreshingly cool. Plus, it takes less than five minutes to make! Let’s get brewing.
What Is a Brown Sugar Iced Coffee Latte?
This drink is a cold coffee-based latte with a rich brown sugar syrup. It has a deep caramel-like sweetness, a creamy texture, and a caffeine kick that makes mornings (or afternoons) way better. If you’ve ever had a brown sugar oat milk latte from a coffee shop, this is the homemade version—cheaper, tastier, and fully customizable.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for that caramel sweetness)
- 1/4 cup water (to make the syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (because vanilla makes everything better)
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso (your caffeine fix)
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (for that creamy texture)
- Ice cubes (because nobody likes warm iced coffee)
- Optional: ground cinnamon (if you want a little extra flavor)
Instructions
- Make the brown sugar syrup – In a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool.
- Brew your coffee – Make a strong cup of coffee or espresso. If using regular coffee, double the strength so it doesn’t get watered down by the ice.
- Assemble your drink – Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the brown sugar syrup over the ice, followed by the coffee.
- Add the milk – Pour in your milk of choice and give it a good stir. If you want to get fancy, use a frother to make the milk extra creamy.
- Sprinkle some magic – If you like a little extra spice, sprinkle some cinnamon on top.
- Enjoy! – Sip, relax, and wonder why you ever paid $6 for this at a coffee shop.
Tips & Variations
- Want it extra sweet? Add more syrup.
- Like it stronger? Use two shots of espresso instead of one.
- Dairy-free? Oat milk works beautifully with brown sugar.
- Want a cozy twist? Add a dash of nutmeg or pumpkin spice.
This Brown Sugar Iced Coffee Latte is the perfect balance of sweet and bold. It’s ridiculously easy to make and guaranteed to upgrade your coffee game. Try it, love it, and thank me later!
