Caramel latte is a popular coffee drink that combines the rich flavor of espresso with the sweetness of caramel sauce and frothy steamed milk. This delicious beverage is perfect for those who want a little bit of indulgence in their morning coffee routine or as an afternoon pick-me-up. If you’re a fan of caramel lattes and want to know how to prepare one at home, read on for our step-by-step guide.
Ingredients:
- Espresso shot (or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee)
- 1-2 tbsp caramel sauce
- 1 cup milk
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by brewing a shot of espresso using an espresso machine. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use strong brewed coffee instead.
- Pour the caramel sauce into the bottom of a coffee mug.
- Steam the milk using an espresso machine or a milk frother. If you don’t have either of these, you can heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam and then whisk vigorously to create foam.
- Pour the steamed milk into the mug over the caramel sauce, holding back the foam with a spoon.
- Pour the espresso shot on top of the milk.
- Use a spoon to add the frothed milk on top of the drink, creating a thick layer of foam.
- Drizzle a little extra caramel sauce on top of the foam.
- If desired, top with whipped cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose a good quality caramel sauce and use fresh, cold milk.
- You can adjust the amount of caramel sauce to your liking. Start with 1 tbsp and add more if you want a sweeter drink.
- To create latte art, pour the espresso shot into the center of the milk and then use a spoon to create a design with the foam on top.
- If you don’t have a milk frother or an espresso machine, you can use a French press to froth the milk. Simply heat the milk in a saucepan and then pour it into a French press. Pump the plunger up and down vigorously for 10-15 seconds until the milk is frothy.
With a little practice, you can create a delicious and indulgent coffee drink that rivals those from your favorite coffee shop. Give it a try and impress your friends and family with your barista skills!
