GHIRARDELLI CAFFÈ® CHOCOLATE CARAMEL A medley of our timeless caramel blend and a dusting of Ghirardelli cocoa. Perfect with dessert! |
Employee Rating: A
We love this coffee over ice! Here's how we made it:
1 - Use 8 cups of water to 2 ounces of coffee. (It needs to be strong so the ice doesn't water it down.)
2 - Once coffee is brewed, mix in 1 cup sugar. (This took some time to figure out - everyone kept adding sweetener to their cups! So we added more sugar and all agreed that it was better. The sugar helps bring out the caramel flavoring. We prefer real sugar over artificial sweeteners.)
3 - Fill cup completely with ice before pouring coffee in the cup.
4 - Add creamer to taste.

Since 1902, we have created the finest specialty coffees using only hand-selected beans and traditional small batch roasting. The extraordinary flavor and character of our premium coffees comes from craft knowledge passed from one generation to the next. Each master roaster instructs his successor in the art of cupping the coffees, creating the blends and roasting by sight, smell and sound. This unwavering dedication to our heritage sets First Colony coffee apart from all others. We hope you enjoy every sip of First Colony coffee as much as we love hand-roasting it for you.
