Ok, that’s a trick question. My roommate. My roommate doesn’t love caramel macchiato’s! But, if you’re in the sane 98% of society and can attest to the deliciousness that is this drink, then keep on reading my friend.
A coffee house staple is brought to the comfort of your own kitchen with simple ingredients you probably already have on hand. In a few quick minutes you’ll be sipping your worries away and didn’t even have to leave your pjs.
First, let’s break down what a Caramel Macchiato actually is, other than a fun word to keep saying over and over.
It is a layered espresso drink of vanilla syrup, cold milk, espresso (or strong brewed coffee) and caramel sauce. The traditional Macchiato does not have whipped cream, but I advise bucking the trend on that one.
You’ll need…
- 8oz Strong brewed coffee or instant espresso
- Ice
- 2 oz vanilla syrup
- ½ cup milk of your choosing (I used whole)
- 2 Tablespoons caramel sauce
- Whipped cream (optional)
- (2) 8-12oz glasses
Instructions
Prep: Brew coffee, let cool, and fill each cup up with ice.
Add 1oz of vanilla syrup to each cup.
Then, carefully pour 4oz of milk into each.
Pour the coffee/espresso through the center of the milk.
Top with whipped cream and a generous drizzle of caramel sauce.
