Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe container or stovetop pot, heat 16 ounces of milk until steaming, but do not boil. If using a frother, froth the milk to create a light, airy texture.
In a 20-ounce serving cup, add 4 tablespoons of vanilla syrup.
Fill the cup with 1 cup of ice.
Pour the steamed milk over the ice and vanilla syrup, leaving some room at the top for the espresso.
Slowly pour the 2 shots of espresso over the milk, allowing it to layer on top.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce over the espresso for a finishing touch.
Serve immediately with a straw for mixing or drink as is to enjoy the layers.
