Clan Macchiato

Indulge in the rich and creamy delight of the Clan Macchiato, a luscious twist on the traditional Italian classic. This decadent beverage features robust espresso, velvety steamed milk, and a sweet caramel touch, topped with a cloud of whipped cream and an irresistible drizzle of caramel sauce. Perfect for cozy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up, this drink brings a touch of refined warmth to your day. Historically, the macchiato originated in Italy as a way to 'stain' espresso with a small amount of milk, but over the years, it has evolved into a beloved favorite enjoyed worldwide, especially in coffee houses.

Serves 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!

Tips

  • 💡 For a stronger caramel flavor, consider adding an extra teaspoon of caramel syrup or substituting caramel flavored milk.
  • 💡 If you're looking for a spicier twist, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the milk before frothing.
  • 💡 To make this drink dairy-free, use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk as a substitute for regular milk.
