Caramel Iced Coffee Milkshake Latte Thing

Caramel Latte, originally uploaded by ThisWeekInMunchies.

I nurse my hangovers (the sleep deprived sort, not at all related to the hangovers of alcoholic variety) with a ridiculously large cup of scalding hot green tea. But come summer, most people develop a waning tolerance for hot beverages of all sorts. So what are we to do: whip up some iced coffee (for the caffeine), caramel (for sweetness), and whipped cream (for everything else).

The AC is most likely taking it's last untimely breathes. So, where's my thirst quencher?

1 scoop of vanilla ice cream
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 espresso shot (or one tablespoon of instant coffee)
2-4 teaspoons of caramel syrup (more for topping)
1 1/2 cups of milk
6 ice cups or so

Dump all of the above into a blender and blend.

Whipped Cream: confectioner's sugar, heavy cream, whisk, and quite a bit of upper arm strength.
