Frozen caramel macchiato is so easy to make. Almond milk, flax seed meal, 2 shots of espresso and dark maple syrup. Topped with whipped cream and caramel.

Summer is coming, y’all! Those long, sticky, hot and pavement scorching days are only a few days away!
If you need me, I will be sitting by the pool sipping these macchiatos
What is in a frozen caramel macchiato?
It has almond milk, strongly brewed black coffee, ice and maple syrup. These ingredients are blended on high for 30 seconds to a minute. Transfer to a glass and whipped cream and caramel sauce are the garnish.
Change up the milk or use half and half. Even coconut milk will be perfect for this drink. My favorite is hazelnut milk because it adds a nutty taste to the macchiato. A simple cashew coffee creamer also adds a nutty flavor to this coffee.

Best time to enjoy this ice cold drink
The sun can be brutal if you find yourself in Florida, especially if the calendar month starts with “Ju”. Ice cold drinks and desserts like watermelon granita are in huge demand by everyone around these parts.
Since this drink has a very cooling and soothing effect, it’s the perfect drink for when you are hot! I love enjoying this drink by the pool on a hot summer day, how about you?
What is the difference between a macchiato and a latte?
A macchiato is made with espresso and steamed milk. Then, it’s topped with caramel sauce. A latte, on the other hand, has steamed milk and a foam layer. There is no caramel drizzling.
Here is a unique latte you can try. It’s a strawberry latte by the Texanarian that will make you wish for hot sunny days!
