Instructions

1. Step 1: Add the milk and caramel syrup to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until it just starts to foam. Remove from heat and whisk until slightly frothy.

• Use vanilla syrup along with caramel syrup for extra depth of flavor.
• Try sprinkling a little cinnamon or nutmeg on top for a warm spice note.

Storage

This latte is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftover caramel milk, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before combining with coffee. Prepared latte with whipped cream is not recommended for storing.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use instant coffee instead of espresso?

Yes, instant coffee works fine if you don’t have espresso. Use a strong brewed coffee or double the amount of instant coffee for a richer flavor.

How can I make this drink less sweet?

Reduce the amount of caramel syrup to taste or opt for a sugar-free caramel syrup option. You can also skip the whipped cream topping to cut extra sweetness.
