Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 - 1 tablespoon Vanilla Syrup 10-15g
  • 1/2 tablespoon Caramel Sauce (plus more for topping)
  • 8 ounces chai concentrate 240 g
  • 8 ounces half & half 240 g half & half (or substitute with equal parts milk and cream)
  • Ice Enough to fill your glass (approx. 150 g)
  • Whipped cream As desired for topping

Instructions
 

  • Combine The Base
    To start, you need to gather your ingredients. The base of the Golden Eagle is a mix of coffee and flavorings. Here’s what you will need:
    1 cup brewed espresso
    1 cup milk
    2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
    2 tablespoons caramel sauce
    Begin by brewing your espresso. Use a coffee machine or any method you prefer. Once brewed, pour the espresso into a large cup. Next, heat the milk in a saucepan or microwave. Do not boil the milk. Just warm it until it's hot. Afterward, mix the warm milk with the espresso. Add the vanilla syrup and caramel sauce to the cup. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
  • Stir To Perfection
    Now it’s time to stir your drink. This step is important for achieving the right flavor. Follow these simple steps:
    Use a long spoon or a milk frother.
    Stir the mixture gently.
    Ensure the caramel and vanilla blend well.
    Make sure to mix until the caramel and vanilla syrup dissolve completely. This will give your Golden Eagle a smooth texture. Taste your drink. If you want it sweeter, add a bit more caramel or vanilla syrup. Stir again to combine.

  • Caramelize The Rim
    Now for a fun twist! Caramelizing the rim of your glass makes the drink extra special. Here’s how to do it:
    1 tablespoon caramel sauce
    1 tablespoon sugar
    First, pour the caramel sauce on a small plate. Dip the rim of your glass into the caramel. Next, immediately dip the rim into the sugar. This step creates a sweet, crunchy layer. It adds flavor and looks great. Your drink will be more attractive and delicious.
  • Finish With Whipped Cream
    The final step is adding whipped cream. This makes the Golden Eagle even better.
    Here’s what you need:
    1/2 cup whipped cream
    Drizzle of caramel sauce
    Top your drink with the whipped cream. Use a spoon or a piping bag for a nice look. Drizzle some caramel sauce on top. This adds a sweet finish to your drink. Enjoy your homemade Dutch Bros Golden Eagle!
