Equipment

  • espresso machine
  • Saucepan
  • Milk frother
  • coffee mug
  • whisk
  • Measuring cups

Ingredients
  

Salted Caramel Coffee Base

  • 2 shots espresso freshly brewed
  • 1 cup milk whole or oat milk
  • 3 tablespoons caramel sauce plus extra for garnish
  • 0.25 teaspoon sea salt flaky salt preferred
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar optional sweetness
  • 0.5 cup whipped cream optional topping

Instructions
 

  • Brew the espresso until bold and aromatic. Stir caramel sauce and brown sugar into the hot espresso.
  • Warm the milk gently in a saucepan over medium heat. Avoid boiling for the smoothest creamy texture.
  • Froth the warm milk until soft and silky with light bubbles. Pour slowly into the espresso mixture.
  • Sprinkle sea salt lightly over the latte. Add whipped cream and extra caramel drizzle if desired.
  • Serve immediately while warm and frothy. Stir gently before drinking for balanced caramel flavor throughout.

Notes

Use extra frothing for thicker foam or less whisking for smoother texture. Freeze leftover espresso into cubes for iced coffee versions later. Pour milk slowly during assembly for prettier layers. Customize flavors with vanilla, mocha, or cinnamon. Store leftover caramel mixture refrigerated for one week.
