- Start by brewing a strong cup of your favorite coffee. For an iced coffee, a robust brew is essential so the flavor doesn't get diluted by the ice and milk. Once brewed, let it cool completely. You can speed this up by brewing it ahead of time and refrigerating it, or by brewing a concentrated amount and then chilling it quickly in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes (just be careful it doesn't freeze solid).1 cup fresh brewed coffee, chilled
- Grab your favorite tall glass. Add a generous amount of ice cubes to fill the glass about two-thirds of the way. This ensures your iced coffee stays delightfully cold without becoming watery.generous amount ice cubes ice cubes
- Pour the chilled coffee over the ice. Next, add your milk of choice. I prefer to use whole milk for a creamier texture, but any milk will work wonderfully. For a richer, more dessert-like coffee, consider using half-and-half.1 cup fresh brewed coffee, chilled, 1/2 cup milk of your choice
- Drizzle in the caramel sauce. The amount is up to your personal preference – start with 2 tablespoons and add more if you like it extra sweet and carameled. Then, add the sweetened condensed milk. This not only adds sweetness but also contributes a luscious, creamy texture to your iced coffee. Stir in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of warmth and aroma.2 tablespoons caramel sauce, 1-2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Add the toffee bits to the mixture. These crunchy morsels will provide delightful bursts of toffee flavor and texture with every sip. You can stir them in now, or save a few to sprinkle on top for garnish.1 tablespoon toffee bits
- Gently stir all the ingredients together. Ensure the caramel sauce, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract are well incorporated into the coffee and milk mixture. Stir until everything is nicely blended and the color is uniform.2 tablespoons caramel sauce, 1-2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Take a small sip and taste your Caramel Toffee Iced Coffee. If it's not sweet enough, add a little more sweetened condensed milk or caramel sauce. If you prefer it stronger, add a touch more coffee.1 cup fresh brewed coffee, chilled, 2 tablespoons caramel sauce, 1-2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

Notes
Best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but it's best to add fresh ice and toffee bits when serving.
