Method
Espresso & Coffee Base
Pull espresso
Brew two shots of espresso (about 60 ml total) using a machine. If you don't have an espresso machine, brew 60 ml strong coffee using a moka pot or concentrated pour-over. Allow espresso to cool slightly (30–60 seconds) so it won't melt all the ice immediately.
Milk & Ice
Caramel & Sweeteners
Sweeten and flavor
Stir 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce into the milk in the glass. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add up to 1 teaspoon of simple syrup or other liquid sweetener. Stir thoroughly until caramel is mostly dissolved into the cold milk.
Combine espresso and milk
Slowly pour the pulled espresso over the milk and ice so it creates a layered look. Use a spoon to gently stir if you want an even mixture.
Garnish
If desired, top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream. Drizzle an extra 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce over the top and finish with a small pinch of sea salt for a salted caramel note.
