Ingredients
Scale
Milk Mixture
- ½ cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 3 tbsp caramel syrup
Coffee
- 2 espresso shots (or 8 oz hot coffee)
Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Toffee bits
Instructions
- Heat Milk and Caramel: Add your milk and caramel syrup to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until just starting to foam. Remove from heat and whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes slightly frothy, enhancing the texture.
- Brew Coffee: Brew two shots of espresso or prepare 8 ounces of hot coffee using your preferred method. Pour the coffee into a large coffee mug.
- Combine Coffee and Milk: Slowly pour the caramel-infused milk mixture into the coffee, stirring gently to blend the flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Top your latte with a generous amount of whipped cream followed by a sprinkle of toffee bits. Enjoy your homemade Caramel Brûlée Latte while warm.
Notes
- Whole milk offers creaminess, but you can substitute with almond, oat, or soy milk for dairy-free options.
- Adjust caramel syrup quantity to taste for a sweeter or less sweet latte.
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor; if unavailable, strong brewed coffee works well.
- Toffee bits add a delightful crunch, but crushed caramel candies can be an alternative.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and skip the whipped cream or use a dairy-free version.
