Ingredients
Scale
- 1 shot of espresso (or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup milk (whole milk or your favorite milk alternative)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 1 tablespoon caramel syrup
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Caramel drizzle (for garnish)
- Vanilla extract (optional, a drop for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Brew the coffee: Brew one shot of espresso or prepare 1/2 cup of strong coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine.
- Heat the milk: In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s warm (but not boiling). You can also use a milk frother to froth the milk for a creamier texture.
- Add syrups: Stir the vanilla syrup and caramel syrup into the hot coffee. Mix well to combine.
- Pour the milk: Pour the warm milk into the coffee mixture, stirring gently. If you’ve frothed the milk, pour it in slowly, allowing the foam to sit on top.
- Top and garnish: Optional—top your latte with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. Drizzle with extra caramel and a dash of vanilla extract for a rich, sweet finish.
- Serve and enjoy: Your Vanilla Caramel Latte is ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Milk options: You can use any type of milk for this latte—dairy, almond milk, oat milk, or any other preferred choice.
- Homemade syrup: If you prefer a homemade version of the vanilla or caramel syrup, simply heat equal parts sugar and water until the sugar dissolves, and add vanilla extract or caramel flavoring.
