Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed strong coffee
- 1 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon extra caramel sauce (for drizzling)
- 4 ice cubes (optional, if serving cold)
Instructions
Brew a strong cup of coffee (you can use espresso or a French press if you prefer). Set it aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar (if using). Heat until the milk is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Remove the saucepan from heat and froth the heated milk using a frother, whisk, or blender for a creamy consistency.
In your favorite mug, add the caramel sauce and brewed coffee. Stir until the caramel dissolves completely.
Pour the frothed milk over the coffee mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to layer it on top after the milk is poured.
Top with whipped cream and drizzle extra caramel sauce over the whipped cream for garnish.
If you'd like an iced version, add ice cubes to the mug before pouring in the coffee and milk mixture. Skip the frothing step for iced drinks.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Cafe Vanilla Caramel!
