Ingredients
Scale
Coffee Base
- 2 shots of espresso (about 2 oz)
Milk & Topping
- 8 oz whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tbsp caramel sauce
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Espresso: Brew two shots of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or a strong coffee maker to create the concentrated coffee base.
- Steam Milk: Heat and steam the milk until it is hot and frothy, creating a creamy foam on top. This can be done using a steam wand or a milk frother.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the hot espresso into a latte glass, stir in the caramel sauce and sugar until fully dissolved and combined.
- Add Milk & Foam: Slowly pour the steamed milk into the espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon and then topping the latte with the foam for a creamy texture.
- Serve: Optionally, drizzle some extra caramel sauce on top for garnish and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk (almond, oat, soy) depending on your preference.
- Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of caramel and sugar.
- For a richer latte, whole milk is recommended, but low-fat or skim milk can also be used.
- To replicate the brulee flavor further, you can sprinkle a touch of brown sugar on top and torch it lightly to create a caramelized crust.
- If you don’t have an espresso machine, strong brewed coffee can be used as a substitute.
