Ingredients

  • Espresso (1 shot (about 1 ounce))
  • Milk (1 cup (whole or your preferred milk))
  • Caramel syrup (2 tablespoons)
  • Whipped cream (1/2 cup (for topping))
  • Caramel sauce (1 tablespoon (for drizzling))

Instructions

  1. Brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, Moka pot, or French press), and set it aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently heat the milk until hot but not boiling, whisking continuously. For a frothier texture, use a milk frother or whisk vigorously until bubbles form.
  3. In a large mug, pour the caramel syrup at the bottom to create a sweet base.
  4. Slowly pour the hot milk into the mug over the caramel syrup, stirring well to combine until fully blended and creamy.
  5. Add the freshly brewed espresso shot to the mug and stir gently to incorporate everything together, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Top the latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream, and finish with a drizzle of caramel sauce for that extra touch of indulgence.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the symphony of flavors that brings warmth and comfort to your day.
