Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew

Region: United States 🇺🇸
Total Time: 10 minutes (plus 12-24 hours for cold brew steeping)

The Story:
A decadent invention of the 2010s American coffee scene, this drink combines the smooth, low-acidity goodness of cold brew with the dessert-like pleasure of salted caramel. The "cold foam" trend revolutionized iced coffee, adding a rich and creamy texture on top without the dilution of melted ice cream.
