Recipe Tips

Stroopwafel cookies are available at most grocery stores (Trader Joe's, Costco, Amazon).
For a warm version, heat the oat milk and caramel together and skip the ice and sparkling water.
The cinnamon should be subtle — 1/4 teaspoon is plenty. Too much overpowers the caramel.

Make It Your Own

For a crowd: Combine apple, citrus, and syrup in a chilled pitcher; top each serving with sparkling water and a thin apple slice.

Easy swaps: Use apple cider in place of apple juice. Use vanilla syrup instead of caramel for a softer dessert profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use store-bought caramel syrup?

Yes. Add it gradually because brands vary widely in sweetness.

How do I keep it crisp?

Use fresh citrus and add sparkling water only when serving.

Can I serve it warm?

The apple-caramel base can be warmed gently, but skip the sparkling finish.
