HOW TO MAKE

Caramel Frozen Blended Coffee

01
Blend your Starbucks VIA^® Instant Italian Roast coffee in a blender along with your milk, caramel syrup, salt and ice. Mix on high until smooth.

A pinch of salt helps with the consistency of the drink, and we recommend using whole milk for a better texture.
02

Once blended, pour the mixture into your glass and top your drink off with a swirl of whipped cream and an additional drizzle of caramel sauce for the full café experience.
