Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots of espresso (or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup milk (or any milk alternative)
- 2 tbsp vanilla syrup
- 2 tbsp caramel syrup
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Extra caramel drizzle (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Brew the Espresso: Brew two shots of espresso or make a strong cup of coffee.
- Steam the Milk: In a small saucepan or milk frother, steam the milk until hot and frothy. If you don’t have a frother, you can heat the milk in the microwave and then whisk it vigorously to create froth.
- Mix the Flavors: In a large mug, add the vanilla syrup and caramel syrup. Pour in the hot espresso and stir to combine.
- Add the Milk: Pour the steamed milk over the espresso mixture. Stir gently.
- Top and Serve: Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel syrup if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of syrup to your taste preferences. If you like a stronger caramel flavor, add more caramel syrup.
- You can make the drink dairy-free by using plant-based milk and skipping the whipped cream or using dairy-free alternatives.
- For an extra indulgent treat, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the whipped cream.
