Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tbsp vanilla syrup
  • 1 to 2 tbsp caramel sauce

Method
 

  1. Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming, about 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the vanilla syrup and pour into a mug.
  2. Hold a spoon just above the milk and slowly pour the hot espresso over the back of the spoon to create a dark top layer.
  3. Drizzle caramel sauce in a crosshatch pattern over the foam and serve immediately.

Notes

If you have extra vanilla syrup, you can refrigerate it for up to two weeks and use it to sweeten iced coffee or tea. The caramel sauce is easiest to drizzle when it’s at room temperature.
