What the heck is coffee milk?
A New England staple, coffee milk is the state drink of Rhode Island. It's available already prepared but if you can't buy it then combine coffee syrup and milk of your choice. Autocrat is the go-to syrup brand but it was unavailable when I posted this recipe, so I went with Coffee Time.
How to Make Your Own Coffee Syrup
Want to DIY your coffee syrup? It’s super simple! Here’s how:
-
Brew ½ cup of coffee grounds with 2 cups of water.
-
Pour the brewed coffee into a saucepan, add 1 cup of sugar.
-
Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium and let it simmer until it reduces by half — about 30 minutes.
-
Transfer to a jar, let cool, and store in the fridge.
No Espresso Machine? No Problem!
If you don’t have an espresso machine, no worries. There are some great instant espresso brands out there like Nescafe Gold Blonde. Just mix 1 teaspoon of instant espresso with 2 ounces of water per shot. I like to shake it up in a small jar or use a handheld milk frother for that nice foam.

Want to customize it? Try adding a shot of caramel, hazelnut, or vanilla syrup to switch up the flavors.
Why is this called a Dunkalatte and not an iced coffee?
Great question! A latte is always made with espresso and milk, while iced coffee is brewed coffee served cold, sometimes with milk, sometimes without. This recipe uses espresso and milk, making it a true iced latte, just like the Dunkin’ original.
Give it a try and make it your own! Maybe add a splash of your favorite syrup or top it with whipped cream! I’d love to hear how you customize yours, so feel free to leave a comment below or drop a rating on the recipe card.
