Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • Espresso (1 shot)
  • Milk (1 cup)
  • Caramel syrup (2 tablespoons)
  • Caramel sauce (to taste, for drizzling)
  • Whipped cream (to taste, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Begin by brewing a shot of espresso using your preferred method, whether it's an espresso machine or a stovetop Moka pot.
  2. While the espresso is brewing, pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  3. Once the milk is hot, transfer it to a blender and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until it becomes frothy and light.
  4. In a coffee mug, pour the caramel syrup at the bottom, allowing it to settle.
  5. Carefully add the brewed espresso to the mug, stirring gently to combine it with the caramel syrup.
  6. Next, pour the frothed milk over the espresso and caramel mixture, allowing the foam to sit on top.
  7. Finish with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce over the top for an inviting presentation.
  8. Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the luxurious blend of flavors!
