Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 shots of espresso (about 60 ml)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole or any preferred type)
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk: Pour the milk into a saucepan and gently heat over medium heat until warm and steaming but not boiling, or use a steam wand if available. This will create a creamy texture ideal for your macchiato.
  2. Combine Milk and Vanilla Syrup: Add the vanilla syrup to the warm milk and stir well to incorporate the sweet flavor evenly throughout the milk.
  3. Prepare Espresso: Brew two shots of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker.
  4. Assemble the Drink: Pour the vanilla-infused milk into a glass or cup, then slowly pour the espresso on top, allowing it to layer and create the characteristic macchiato appearance.
  5. Drizzle with Caramel: Generously drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the drink to add a rich, sweet finish that perfectly complements the espresso and milk combination.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for a creamier texture or substitute with almond, oat, or soy milk for dairy-free options.
  • Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup and caramel sauce to suit your personal sweetness preference.
  • For an iced version, use cold milk and add ice cubes before pouring the espresso and syrup.
  • Freshly brewed espresso will yield the best flavor and aroma.
  • To create frothier milk, use a milk frother or steam wand.
