The Dunkin' Dunkalatte is available for a limited time only, but you can easily make it at home using our copycat recipe!
What ingredients do I need to make an iced Dunkalatte at home?
6 to 8 ounces coffee milk, 1 shot cooled espresso and 1 cup of ice.
What the heck is coffee milk?
A New England staple, coffee milk is the state drink of Rhode Island. It's available already prepared but if you can't buy it then combine coffee syrup and milk of your choice. Autocrat is the go-to syrup brand but it was unavailable when I posted this recipe, so I went with Coffee Time.
Can I make my own coffee syrup?
Sure can! It's just like making a simple syrup. Brew 1/2 cup coffee grounds with 2 cups of water. Pour into a saucepan and add 1 cup of sugar. Bring it to a boil, lower the heat to medium and let it reduce by half, about 30 minutes. Move to a jar, let cool and keep refrigerated.
I don't have an espresso machine ...
There are now good store bought instant espresso brands available. I like the Nescafe Gold Blonde. All you need is 2 ounces of hot water and 1 teaspoon of espresso per shot. I like to make it in a small jar and shake it or you can use a handheld milk frother.
Enough talk, let's make this drink!
Start by combining the coffee syrup and milk. Add ice. Pour in the espresso. Stir to combine. Pop in a straw and enjoy! Want to customize it a bit? Add in a shot of caramel, hazelnut or vanilla syrup, or top with
whipped cream.
Why is this called a Dunkalatte and not an iced coffee?
The difference is that a latte is always made with espresso and milk. An iced coffee is made with brewed coffee and can be served with or without milk.
