How to Make a Caramel Macchiato at Home (Recipe) Better than the Coffee Shop

Those that know me well, know that I’m obsessed with that perfect cup of Joe. My mornings don’t start until I have my favorite coffee in hand. So when my favorite coffee shop closed it’s doors near me several years ago, I knew I had to figure out a way to continue enjoying my favorite coffee house drink at home. Espresso and milk is the base for most coffee house drinks, the hard part is figuring out what ratio you like best. But I was determined to figure it out. The hint of vanilla paired with the sweet delicousness of caramel continues to call my name.

Making a Caramel Macchiato at home is easier than one would think. Like I mentioned, it is all about figuring out what ratio of espresso, milk, and sweetness that you prefer. I’m constantly switching it up in my kitchen. Some days I like a bold, intense espresso flavor to get me going while others I prefer a more sweeter sip.

Caramel Macchiato Recipe

• 1 1/2 cups steamed whole milk
• 1/8 cup espresso
• 2 1/2 tbsp vanilla simple syrup *
• Drizzel: Caramel Ice cream Topping **
• Extra Creamy Whipped Cream
• Vanilla Simple Syrup *
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• Pour 1 1/2 cups of hot, steamed milk into a large coffee mug. Add 1/8 cup of hot espresso to the milk. (add more or less espresso to taste depending on how strong of a coffee flavor you prefer, but start out with less and slowly add a little bit at a time as espresso is very strong). Then, add the vanilla simple syrup to taste (again more or less depending on your desired level of sweetness). Stir until combined. Top with extra creamy whipped cream. And with a spoon drizzle the caramel ice cream topping in a zig zag pattern on top of the whipped cream. Serve hot and enjoy carefully.
