It's quick and easy to make, bringing the cafe experience right into your kitchen. Sip on a caramel latte in the morning, afternoon, or as a cozy evening drink.

Ingredients

  • 2 shots of espresso
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce
  • 2 teaspoons of sugar
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Extra caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)

Directions

  1. Brew 2 shots of espresso using a coffee machine or espresso maker.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until hot but not boiling. A good tip is to heat the milk until it starts to steam.
  3. While the milk is heating, pour the caramel sauce into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the caramel sauce in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, until warm and easily pourable.
  4. Once the milk is hot, remove it from the heat and whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds to create foam.
  5. Pour the foam onto the espresso shots in a large coffee mug.
  6. Gently pour the hot milk over the foam, holding back the foam with a spoon to let the milk pour in first. This will create layers in your latte.
  7. Add sugar to the latte and stir until dissolved.
  8. If desired, top the latte with whipped cream and drizzle with extra caramel sauce.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!
