Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce (plus extra for topping)
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine milk, caramel sauce, sugar, and optional heavy cream over medium heat.
- Heat until the mixture begins to steam, stirring frequently until caramel and sugar dissolve completely.
- Whisk vigorously or use a milk frother until the milk becomes foamy.

- Add the caramel milk mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed, then top with whipped cream and drizzle more caramel sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Caramel Latte.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee or replace with one shot of espresso for a bolder flavor.

- For a salted caramel twist, add a pinch of sea salt before serving.
- Leftover caramel sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
