Now, let’s get into what you need for this tasty caramel latte:
Ingredients
- 1 cup of milk (whole, almond, or whatever you like)
- 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
- Whipped cream (optional, but let’s be real, you want this)
Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s dive into the instructions:
- First things first, brew that coffee or espresso! If you’ve got an espresso machine, bless up! If not, a strong coffee will do just fine.
- While you’re brewing, heat up your milk. You want it steamy but not boiling. You can use a saucepan or pop it in the microwave for about a minute.
- Once your milk is heated, it’s time to froth! If you have a frother, go ahead and whisk it up. If not, pour the milk into a jar, seal it tightly, and shake it like you mean it. You want those bubbles, honey!
- Now in your favorite mug, drizzle 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce along the sides. This is crucial for that sweet caramel goodness!
- Pour your hot coffee over the caramel, and then add the frothed milk. Stir it up, and watch that beautiful drink come together.
- If you’re feeling extra fancy, top it off with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel on top. You know you want to!
There you have it! A delicious caramel latte that’s way too easy not to make. Pour yourself a cup, kick back, and enjoy the rich flavors. Cheers to cozy vibes at home!
