Caramel Coffee Treat (Print)

Recreate Starbucks' caramel macchiato by combining espresso, vanilla milk, and caramel in just minutes at home.

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 ounces of espresso.
02 - Caramel drizzle for decorating.
03 - 12 ounces of milk (regular, low-fat, or plant-based options).
04 - 2 tablespoons of vanilla-flavored syrup.

# Steps:

01 - Make espresso with a machine or stovetop moka pot. If you don’t have these, strong brewed coffee works too, just double the amount.
02 - Warm up the milk, then make it frothy using a steam wand, handheld whisk, or frother until you see bubbles forming.
03 - Pour the frothy milk into your cup and swirl in the vanilla syrup.
04 - Carefully pour the espresso into the cup so it sits on the frothy milk, leaving a nice mark on top.
05 - Draw two circles of caramel around the top of the cup and crisscross a grid in the center for extra flair.

# Notes:

01 - Milk alternatives like almond or oat work just as well.
02 - If you’re skipping espresso, double the amount of strong brewed coffee.
03 - Add caramel sauce to the bottom of the cup if you like it sweeter.
