Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about customizing your Iced Caramel Macchiato.

What's the best milk alternative for a vegan Iced Caramel Macchiato? +

Oat milk is generally considered the best alternative as it has a creamy texture that closely resembles dairy milk. Almond milk works well too but is thinner, while soy milk can sometimes curdle with acidic coffee.

Can I make a sugar-free version that still tastes good? +

Absolutely! Use high-quality sugar-free vanilla syrup and sugar-free caramel sauce. Monk fruit or stevia-based sweeteners work well. The key is to balance the sweetness with the bitterness of the coffee.

How can I reduce the calorie count without losing flavor? +

Use skim milk or unsweetened almond milk, reduce the amount of syrup by half, and skip the whipped cream. You can also ask for just one pump of syrup instead of the standard three or four.

Is there a way to make it keto-friendly? +

Yes! Use heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk, sugar-free syrups, and a keto-friendly sweetener if needed. Avoid traditional caramel sauce or use a sugar-free version.
