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.

    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.
