Sweet Homemade Caramel Latte
Crafting the Perfect Caramel Latte at Home
Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share a detailed recipe for a smooth and sweet caramel latte that you can enjoy with cafe-quality results right in your own kitchen. It’s incredibly convenient to make using store-bought caramel, which makes it even more appealing! Whether it’s a special occasion or a lazy afternoon, treat yourself to a perfect cup of caramel latte.
Essential Ingredients- 1 Caramel candy or 1-2 Tbsp Caramel syrup
- 2 shots Fresh espresso
- 115ml Your favorite milk
- Ice, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Place 1 caramel candy into a shot glass or a small heatproof container. If you are using caramel syrup, you can skip this step and proceed to prepare for espresso extraction.
Step 2
Extract 2 shots of fresh, rich espresso according to your preference. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can substitute with strongly brewed coffee or coffee made with a Moka pot.
Step 3
Pour the extracted espresso over the caramel candy in the shot glass. The heat from the warm espresso will slowly begin to melt the caramel. Stir gently with a teaspoon, waiting until the caramel has completely dissolved into the espresso, forming a sweet caramel base. If any lumps remain, break them up with the teaspoon.
Step 4
Prepare a nice cup for serving. Fill the cup with fresh ice cubes as much as you like. More ice will help keep your drink colder for longer.
Step 5
Slowly pour 115ml of cold milk over the ice. Pouring carefully will create a beautiful layered effect, enhancing the visual appeal of your latte.
Step 6
Now, gently pour the prepared caramel espresso base over the ice. You’ll get to admire the beautiful layers as your caramel latte comes together. For a richer flavor, avoid stirring immediately and gently mix just before you take your first sip.
Step 7
And there you have it – your very own special caramel latte, easily made at home! The delightful aroma of caramel combined with the rich espresso creates a truly wonderful taste. Enjoy your delicious creation!
