Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso (about 2 oz / 60 ml), cooled
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 3 tbsp vanilla syrup
  • 1 cup ice
  • 2 tbsp caramel sauce

Method
 

  1. Drizzle 1 tbsp caramel sauce in a slow spiral along the inside walls of a 16 oz glass.
  2. Add the 3 tbsp vanilla syrup to the glass, fill with the 1 cup ice, then pour in the 1 cup whole milk over the ice.
  3. Pour the 2 shots of espresso slowly over the back of a spoon held just above the milk's surface.
  4. Drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp caramel sauce over the top in a crosshatch pattern and serve immediately.

Notes

This drink is best made fresh and drunk within a few minutes before the ice dilutes the milk. If you're making it for more than one person, brew all the espresso first and let it cool together while you line and fill each glass. The caramel crosshatch on top is easier with a squeeze bottle than a spoon, so it's worth keeping one in the kitchen if you make this regularly.
