Prep Time: 10

Total Time: 10

Servings: 1 medium drink

Equipment

handheld milk frother
instant-read thermometer optional

Ingredients

2 shots espresso or ½ cup strongly brewed coffee
1 ounce caramel sauce
1 ounce vanilla syrup
1¼ cups half-and-half
whipped cream and caramel sauce for garnish

Instructions

Make your strongly brewed coffee. Add the caramel sauce and vanilla syrup and stir to dissolve. Set the glass aside.
Next, you will steam your milk. On the stove, add the half-and-half to a medium-sized pot. Heat it slowly over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't boil. If you have an instant-read thermometer, you want the milk to be between 155 and 165 degrees.
Now it's time to froth your milk. I like to use a handheld milk frother, but there are three options in the recipe notes below. Transfer the milk to a tall pitcher or glass and place the frother halfway into the milk. Froth the milk for 30 to 45 seconds by slowly pulling the wand up to the surface and down to the middle again.
Add the milk to your glass. Take it slowly, using a spoon to hold back the foam. Finally, add the foam with your spoon.
Top with whipped cream and caramel sauce, and enjoy!

Heather's Helpful Hints

How to Froth Milk: There are three great options that I like to use to froth my milk: (1) a kitchen whisk, (2) shaking a mason jar, and (3) a handheld milk frother.
Espresso Substitute: Yes, you can make your latte without espresso. Simply brew strong coffee in a regular coffee pot. You'll want about a half cup of coffee for this recipe.
