Method

Caramel Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Caramel Sauce

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and butter. Stir until the mixture is bubbling and the sugar has completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Cream and Vanilla

    Slowly add the heavy cream to the mixture while stirring continuously. Be cautious, as it may bubble up. Stir until fully combined, then remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.

Latte Preparation

  1. 3

    Brew Espresso

    Brew 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine. If you prefer an iced latte, let it cool down or pour over ice.

  2. 4

    Prepare Milk

    Steam 1 cup of milk until hot and frothy. For an iced version, simply chill the milk in the refrigerator or use cold milk.

  3. 5

    Combine Espresso and Milk

    In a large mug or glass, combine the brewed espresso with the steamed milk. Stir gently to mix.

Assembly and Toppings

  1. 6

    Add Milk Froth

    Top the latte mixture with the frothy milk, creating a nice layer on top.

  2. 7

    Drizzle Caramel Sauce

    Generously drizzle the prepared caramel sauce over the frothy milk.

  3. 8

    Add Whipped Cream and Garnish

    Add a dollop of whipped cream on top, followed by a drizzle of extra caramel sauce and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for garnish.
