Ingredients
  

Latte Base
  • 1 cup whole milk substitute with almond, soy, or oat milk for dairy-free
  • 2 tablespoons caramel syrup use homemade or sugar-free for a lighter option
  • 2 shots espresso or 8 ounces of hot coffee; can be decaffeinated
Topping
  • 1 cup whipped cream substitute with coconut whipped cream for dairy-free
  • 1 tablespoon toffee bits or omit for lower sugar content

Equipment

  • small saucepan
  • espresso machine
  • large coffee mug

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of whole milk with 2 tablespoons of caramel syrup. Heat over medium-low for about 3-4 minutes until the milk begins to froth and small bubbles form along the edges. Stir gently to ensure the caramel dissolves completely. Once heated, remove from the heat and whisk vigorously until you achieve a light frothy texture.
  2. While the milk is heating, brew two shots of espresso using your espresso machine or prepare 8 ounces of your favorite hot coffee. For the best flavor, use fresh coffee beans and brew your espresso for approximately 25 seconds or until a rich crema forms on top. Pour the brewed coffee into a large coffee mug to set the base for your Caramel Brûlée Latte.
  3. Once your caramel milk is frothy and your coffee is brewed, slowly pour the caramel milk mixture over the hot espresso or coffee. Allow the layers to gently mix, creating a delightful swirl of caramel and coffee.
  4. To complete your Caramel Brûlée Latte, generously top it with a swirl of whipped cream, allowing it to pile high for that café-style presentation. Finally, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toffee bits on top for added crunch and sweetness.
