Ingredients
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 the mixture is just starting to foam. Remove from heat and whisk vigorously to create a slight froth.
- Brew coffee: Brew two shots of espresso or prepare 8 ounces of hot coffee and pour it into a large coffee mug.
- Combine: Pour the caramel-infused milk mixture into the coffee, stirring gently to blend the flavors thoroughly.
- Add toppings: Top your latte with a generous amount of whipped cream, then sprinkle toffee bits on top for added texture and sweetness.
- Serve: Sip and enjoy your homemade Caramel Brûlée Latte immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute whole milk with any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust caramel syrup amount to taste if you prefer more or less sweetness.
- Toffee bits add crunch but can be omitted or replaced with caramel drizzle if unavailable.
- Use freshly brewed espresso for authentic flavor; instant coffee is a quick alternative but less rich.
- Whisking the milk helps create a frothy texture similar to café-style lattes.
