The Macchiato is one of the most sophisticated of all coffee drinks. The name macchiato comes from an Italian word meaning marked, spotted, or stained. 

 

Sometimes called an espresso macchiato or cafe macchiato, this elegant drink is a favorite among many die-hard coffee lovers. While its fancy name might sound upscale, though, the drink itself is pretty simple: espresso with just a dash of milk. 

 

While this drink is known for being a real kick-in-the-pants (it’ll DEFINITELY wake you up), people who don’t enjoy the taste of straight espresso have found ways to make it a little more palatable. Today, you can make an iced or flavored macchiato that retains the sophistication of the original drink, without the intensity. 

 

If a straight macchiato is a little too much for your buds, don’t worry. There are dozens of ways to dress your macchiato up without kicking your blood sugar into overdrive. One of our favorites is the keto salted caramel macchiato.

 

Perfect as an afternoon pick-me-up or a special alternative to your favorite coffee drink, this easy-to-master iced macchiato recipe will have you feeling like a pro in no time.
