Makes: 1 latte
Ingredients
- 2 shots (2 oz) brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 2 oz caramel syrup (homemade recipe below or store-bought)
- 1 ¼ cup skim milk (or dairy/non-dairy alternative of your choice)
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Caramel Syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Brew espresso into a heat-proof glass. Stir in caramel syrup.
- Steam and froth milk. You can either steam 1 cup of milk on the stovetop/in the microwave and froth ¼ cup milk in an electric frother or with a handheld frother/whisk OR steam and froth all the milk together in a mason jar or heat-proof container (see notes for how-to).
- Pour steamed milk into espresso and top off with frothed milk.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the top.
Caramel Syrup
- Put sugar and ½ cup water in a medium saucepan and bring mixture to a boil while stirring occasionally.
- Once sugar has dissolved, let mixture continue boiling without stirring. Watch closely for mixture to turn a light amber color. It usually takes about 8-10 minutes for me, but it can go from light amber to being burnt very quickly, so be sure to watch closely.
- Once mixture is light amber, immediately remove from heat and slowly and carefully pour remaining ½ cup water in. It will likely splatter and steam up, so stand back while pouring. Add vanilla and stir well to combine.
- Pour syrup into a heat-proof bowl or mason jar and place in fridge to cool completely. Syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.

For steaming and frothing milk together in mason jar:-Put all 1 ¼ cup milk in a large mason jar or heat-proof container (it should only be half full), put the lid on, and shake the jar as hard as you can for about 30 seconds, until frothy.-Remove lid and place the jar in the microwave for 45 seconds.-Pour the steamed milk right into your espresso and spoon the froth on top.
