Yield serving (16 ounces)

Combine half & half and vanilla syrup in a French press. Place lid and move the plunger up and down 40 times to make cold foam.
Set aside.
Put white chocolate sauce, espresso, and milk into a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously 10 times.
Use 2 Nespresso espresso pods or pull 2 shots from an espresso machine. If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, use a jar with a tight lid.
Drizzle inside of a cup with caramel sauce. Add ice.
Use a spoon to add caramel to the inside of the cup.
Pour drink into the cup. Top with vanilla sweet cream cold foam.

1 shot of espresso = 1 Nespresso espresso capsule
To make a 16 ounce (grande) Starbucks drink, you’ll need 2 Nespresso espresso or ristretto capsules. You can also use 1 Vertuo double espresso.
With the Vertuo machine capsules, only use espresso capsules and not the coffee capsules that make 7.77 ounces.
Starbucks uses 2% milk to make their Iced White Mochas, but you can use any milk you like.
If you don’t have a way to make espresso, use instant coffee. Combine 1 tablespoon of instant coffee and ¼ cup hot water to replace the 2 shots of espresso in the recipe.
Cold foam can be made using a French press or a handheld milk frother but the French does a better job of creating luscious foam.
You can use sweetened condensed milk if you don't have white chocolate sauce.
The vanilla sweet cream cold foam is made using vanilla syrup, but if you don't have any, sweeten the half & half with 2 teaspoons of sugar.
Make homemade vanilla syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. It's so easy to make with just 3 ingredients and takes 5 minutes.
