Iced Salted Caramel Latte

An iced salted caramel latte from the sachet: a strong syrup over ice, cold milk, a caramel drizzle and a pinch of sea salt.

Iced Salted Caramel Latte

Iced salted caramel latte is one of summer's most ordered coffees, and the sachet makes a very good one at home. The secret is to keep it strong: whisk the sachet into a thick syrup with just a splash of hot water, so the milk and ice cannot dilute it.

You'll need

  • 1 Costa Salted Caramel Latte sachet (17g)
  • 80ml freshly drawn water, brought to a rolling boil then left for 1 minute to drop to about 90C
  • 200ml cold whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce, for the drizzle
  • A tiny pinch of fine sea salt, for the milk top
  • 1 fresh mint sprig, for the rim
  • 1 tall 450ml glass, chilled in the freezer for ten minutes
  • Enough cubed ice to fill the tumbler (about 250g)
  • 1 small heatproof mug
  • 1 small balloon whisk
  • 1 wide paper or metal straw

Method

  1. Get a tall glass into the freezer to chill.
  2. Whisk the sachet with just 80ml of hot water (around 90C) into a thick, glossy caramel syrup.
  3. Fill the chilled glass with ice and pour the syrup over it.
  4. Top with cold milk, poured over the back of a spoon to keep it layered.
  5. Drizzle caramel over the top and finish with a small pinch of sea salt and a sprig of mint.
  6. Stir the caramel into the warm syrup rather than over the ice, or it sets hard against the cold glass.
What you'll end up with: A tall, cold glass with a strong salted caramel Coffee base, cold milk through the middle and a caramel and salt finish. Sweet, creamy and not watered down.
