Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coffee
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated Sugar Substitute (like erythritol or monk fruit)
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Begin by brewing a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method. Set aside once brewed.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar substitute and water. Stir occasionally until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Add the butter and salt to the saucepan. Continue to stir gently until the butter has melted and the mixture starts to simmer.
Allow the mixture to simmer without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and turns golden brown.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly.
In another small saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Froth the milk using a milk frother or by vigorously whisking by hand.
Pour the brewed coffee into a large mug, then add the cooled sugar-free caramel syrup and stir well to combine.
Gently pour the frothed almond milk over the top of the coffee mixture.
Optionally, sprinkle a bit of extra sweetener on top or an additional pinch of salt for enhanced flavor.
Enjoy your delightful and aromatic sugar-free caramel coffee!
