Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso (about 60ml / 2 oz)
  • 120ml (4 oz) whole milk
  • 2 tbsp caramel sauce
  • 1 tsp caramel sauce (for drizzle)
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Brew 2 shots of espresso into your serving mug and immediately stir in the 2 tbsp caramel sauce until fully dissolved.
  2. Heat the 120ml whole milk in a small saucepan over medium heat to 60 to 65°C (140 to 150°F), then froth until thick and doubled in volume, about 20 to 30 seconds with a handheld frother.
  3. Pour the steamed milk into the mug using a spoon to hold the foam back, then spoon the foam on top to form a cap about 1.5 to 2cm thick.
  4. Drizzle the reserved 1 tsp caramel sauce in a spiral over the foam, scatter the pinch of sea salt on top, and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe scales to 2 servings easily. Just double everything and froth the milk in one batch. The caramel dissolves best when stirred into the espresso while it's at its hottest, so don't let the espresso sit and cool before adding it.
