Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee (or 1 shot of espresso + 3/4 cup hot water)
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzle)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup)
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Brew your coffee or espresso according to your preference to get a fresh hot base for the drink.
- Mix Flavors: In a separate mug or small bowl, combine the milk, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract or syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Coffee and Flavor Mix: Pour the caramel-vanilla mixture into the hot coffee and stir thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the coffee and adjust the sweetness by adding more caramel or vanilla syrup if needed.
- Top and Serve: Optionally, top your coffee with whipped cream and an extra drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent finish. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- To make it iced, brew your coffee ahead of time and chill it completely.
- Mix the caramel and vanilla with a splash of warm water to dissolve before adding to cold coffee over ice with milk.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use a flavored coffee blend or add an extra shot of espresso in your brew.
