Recently, I joined Twitter (www.twitter.com/mymilitarylife) and somehow through clicking around started to follow Karen. Today she tweeted about my favorite drink!!
When getting a fancy coffee, I usually opt for this yummy treat. Since I prefer it iced, I haven’t had one in awhile. ….another reason why I can’t wait for warmer weather!
Well, if you are like me and you LOVE the caramel macchiato, you are going to love this recipe.
Caramel macchiato recipe
In my obsession to save money and be as thrifty as possible I decided there’s not much out there we can’t do ourselves or make ourselves so why not apply that to our fru-fru coffee? I got to the bottom of my new fave – the caramel macchiato. Turns out there’s not much caramel in it. They should probably call it a vanilla macchiato but oh well. So here’s what I’ve found, and after a few attempts my husband even agrees the taste is spot-on. You should try it for yourself…
Ingredients:
double shot of espresso (or a really strong cup of coffee)
4 pumps of Vanilla flavored syrup
hot frothy milk or cream
caramel sauce
Caramel macchiato recipe
Step by step method without having a big fancy machine:
1) make espresso using a french press or you can make a really strong cup of coffee
2) add 4 pumps Torani (or any other brand) vanilla syrup
3) pour about 1/4 cup of milk or cream into a separate cup and microwave it for about a minute or until hot
4) use a nifty gadget like the aerolatte to froth your milk
5) pour frothed milk on top and drizzle with caramel sauce
That’s it!
