From the first time I tried an iced caramel latte from Dunkin, I knew this would be my favorite drink for summer days. (My second favorite summer drink is wintermelon milk tea). Let me elaborate on this.
Hot espresso + ice + caramel coffee creamer = heaven for my taste buds during warmer days.
After a few months of experimenting, I came up with my own version of the Dunkin Donuts iced caramel latte that is even tastier than the original! All my friends literally got addicted to it, and I’m so proud of sharing my recipe with you, too, dear reader.
Apart from that, we’ll also talk about the iced caramel latte’s nutritional value and calories specifically. I’m ready when you are!

Here’s my own version of the Dunkin Donuts iced caramel latte that you can also make at home. It’s easy to make and it requires only a few ingredients. Grab your favorite mug and some ice cubes, and let's get started with the DIY latte:
Ingredients
- 2 shots of espresso or 1 shot of coffee or tea brewed to your liking

- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons caramel coffee creamer
- 1 cup of ice
- 2 tbsp whipped cream
- Toppings to your liking
Instructions
- Step 1: Brew your coffee or tea. Meanwhile, pour the milk and heavy cream into a saucepan. Heat on medium until bubbles form around the edge of the pan.
- Step 2: Add sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the milk mixture and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in caramel coffee creamer into the heated milk mixture.
- Step 3: Turn off the heat. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then add the ice. Pour espresso into the glass, then top with whipped cream. Enjoy!
