In a jar or container with a lid, whisk together the milk, cold brew, chia seeds, caramel bakery emulision or extract, vanilla extract, and salt.
Make sure the chia seeds are fully mixed into the liquid, not just floating on top. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to ensure a smooth, pudding-like texture.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. It should be thick, creamy, and scoopable.
Top with your desired toppings: Greek yogurt, caramel sauce, flaky sea salt, cocoa powder, whipped cream, cacao nibs, ground cinnamon, banana slices, etc.
