Instructions

- Blend on high speed until the mixture is frothy and well combined, approximately 30 seconds.
- Pour the frothy milk into a large mug and gently add the brewed espresso, stirring slightly to combine.
- Top generously with whipped cream, then drizzle with caramel sauce for a beautiful finish.
- Serve hot and savor the comforting flavors of your Highlander Latte.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding a dash of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the milk before blending.
- If you prefer a lighter drink, use low-fat or almond milk for a slightly different flavor.
- For a decadent twist, sprinkle some extra cinnamon or even a pinch of sea salt on top of the whipped cream.
