Instructions
- Prepare coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method and allow it to cool to room temperature or chill it in the refrigerator for faster cooling.

- Assemble the drink: Pour the coffee mixture over the ice-filled glass, allowing the flavors to blend chilled as you prepare to serve.

Notes
- For a creamier texture and richer taste, substitute milk with half-and-half or oat milk.
- Customize sweetness by adjusting the amount of caramel sauce and hazelnut syrup according to your preference.
- For a smoother and less acidic coffee flavor, try using cold brew coffee instead of regular brewed coffee.
