Ingredients
Scale
Milk and 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 Milk and Caramel: 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 vigorously until the mixture becomes frothy and creamy.
- Brew Coffee: Prepare two shots of espresso or brew 8 oz of hot coffee, then pour it into a large coffee mug.
- Combine: Pour the caramel milk mixture into the coffee, stirring gently to blend the flavors.
- Add Toppings: Top the latte with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle toffee bits on top for a satisfying crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your Caramel Brûlée Latte!
Notes
- You can substitute whole milk with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust caramel syrup quantity to taste for desired sweetness.
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor, but strong brewed coffee works well too.
- For an extra special touch, use a kitchen torch to brûlée the caramel on top of the whipped cream carefully, though this is optional.
- Store leftover caramel syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
