INGREDIENTS
 

Salted Caramel Latte

  • 1 cup strong coffee
  • 2 teaspoon caramel sauce + more to drizzle on top
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt + more to sprinkle on top

Salted Caramel Cream Topping

  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons caramel sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Make salted caramel cream topping.
    Use a handheld milk frother to whisk together caramel sauce and heavy cream. Set aside.
  • Froth milk.
    Bring milk to a simmer on the stovetop, making sure it doesn't come to a boil since it can easily burn, or microwave it for 30 seconds. Pour heated milk into a French press, put the lid on, and move the plunger up and down, making sure to hold down the lid. Or, heat and froth milk at the same time using an electric milk frother. If you have an espresso machine, froth milk using the steam wand.
  • Assemble drink.
    Pour coffee into a cup and stir caramel sauce, salt, and frothed milk. Top with salted caramel cream topping. Garnish with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a pinch of salt.

TO MAKE WITH ESPRESSO: Use 2 shots of espresso and 3/4 cup milk instead of 1/4 cup milk.
