Pro Tips

Use a medium-dark roast coffee for your cold brew to stand up to the sweet ice cream
Let the caramel cool completely before using to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly
Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving
Add the cold brew slowly to create nice layers and prevent overflow
