Ingredients
Scale
Milk & Syrup
- ½ cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 3 tbsp caramel syrup
Coffee
- 2 espresso shots (or 8 oz hot coffee)
Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Toffee bits
Instructions
- Heat and Froth Milk: In a small saucepan, combine the milk and caramel syrup. Heat gently over medium heat until the mixture starts to foam but does not boil. Remove from heat and whisk vigorously to create a light froth.
- Brew Coffee: Prepare 2 shots of espresso or 8 ounces of hot coffee using your preferred method. Pour it into a large coffee mug.
- Combine Milk and Coffee: Slowly pour the warm caramel milk mixture into the brewed coffee, mixing them together to create a smooth latte.
- Add Toppings: Generously top your latte with whipped cream, then sprinkle toffee bits on top for an added crunch and burst of sweetness. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use any milk alternative (almond, oat, soy) for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust caramel syrup quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
- Replace espresso with strong brewed coffee if espresso machine is unavailable.
- Toffee bits add texture, but can be omitted or substituted with caramel drizzle.
- For an extra caramel brûlée flavor, sprinkle a little brown sugar on whipped cream and carefully brown under a broiler or with a kitchen torch.
