Introducing: The Salted Caramel Vanilla Latte Twist!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup of your favorite brewed coffee (strong, medium, or weak—whatever floats your boat!)
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or your preferred non-dairy alternative—oat milk works wonders here!)
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade, but if you’re feeling fancy, homemade is the way to go!)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup (a little sweetness and flavor explosion in every sip)
- A pinch of sea salt (trust us on this—salted caramel is all about that perfect balance)
- Whipped cream (optional, but seriously, it’s the cherry on top)
- Extra caramel sauce for drizzling (because, why not?)
- Your favorite Coffee Tumbler
Instructions:
-
Brew Your Base: Start with a fresh cup of your favorite brewed coffee. Strong and bold is our go-to, but feel free to adjust to your taste preference. Pour that into your best coffee tumbler and get ready to turn into a barista!
-
Milk Prep: In a small saucepan, heat your milk over medium heat until it’s just about to steam. Give it a good whisk to create a frothy texture. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can use a milk frother to get that dreamy foam.
-
Mix it Up: Add the caramel sauce and vanilla syrup into your coffee. Stir well until everything’s beautifully combined. You should have a luscious, caramel-infused coffee that’s starting to look pretty irresistible.
-
Froth it Up: Gently pour the frothed milk over your coffee mixture. Give it a gentle swirl to blend the froth with your caramel coffee. The frothy top is where the magic happens!
-
Add the Finishing Touches: Here’s where we get fancy! Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top to bring out the rich caramel flavor. If you’re going all out (and why not?), add a dollop of whipped cream and drizzle with extra caramel sauce. It’s like a sweet hug in a cute coffee cup!
-
Sip and Celebrate: Take a moment to appreciate your masterpiece before you dive in. Sip slowly, savor the caramel goodness, and enjoy the delightful burst of flavors that make this latte a true treat. You’ve earned it!
Bonus Tip: If you want to make this latte a little more “wow,” try adding a sprinkle of sea salt caramel-flavored sprinkles or a dash of cinnamon for an extra flavor kick. The more, the merrier!
There you have it, folks—a decadent, café-worthy latte that you can whip up in your own kitchen. Celebrate National Coffee Day with style and savor every delicious sip of your Salted Caramel Vanilla Latte Twist in a new tumbler. Here’s to coffee, comfort, and a little bit of home-grown happiness!
