How to Store Leftover Iced Caramel Coffee

Iced Caramel Coffee is best when made fresh. If you have leftover coffee without ice, keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Stir well before using it again. Add fresh ice and milk when serving.

Can Iced Caramel Coffee Be Frozen?

Yes. Freeze cooled brewed coffee in ice cube trays for up to 2 months. Use the coffee cubes in your next iced coffee so the drink stays cold without becoming watery.
