Latte Ingredients
- 1 shot Espresso - or 2-3 oz cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup Milk - or non-dairy alternative
- 2 tbsp Caramel Sauce
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract - check out our Small Batch Vanilla Extract
- Whipped Cream - optional, for topping
Caramelized Topping
- 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Water
Instructions
- Start by brewing a single shot of espresso—if you’ve got an espresso machine, great! If not, no worries, just make some strong coffee and use a double shot of that instead.
- Heat up your milk in a saucepan over medium heat. You want it nice and hot, but don’t let it start bubbling away. Once it’s warmed up, grab a frother (or a whisk if you’re feeling old-school) and whip it up until it’s creamy with a little frothy goodness on top.
- Now for the fun part—grab your favorite mug and add a good drizzle of caramel sauce along with a splash of vanilla. Pour in that fresh espresso and give it a quick stir to mix all that caramel magic together. Finally, top it off with your frothy milk and give it one last gentle stir.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden amber color. Quickly remove from heat and drizzle onto a parchment-lined surface. Once hardened, break it into small pieces.
- Top your latte with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of the caramelized sugar pieces on top for a delicious crunch.
- It’s ready to enjoy, drink up while it is warm!
