Ingredients

1 serving
Espresso1–2 shots (1–2 oz)
Whole milk0.75 cup
Sugar3 tbsp
Butter1 tbsp

Method

1

Heat sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until amber in color, about 3–4 minutes.

2

Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and combined.

3

Slowly add heavy cream while stirring (mixture will bubble); continue stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and sea salt. Set aside to cool for 1 minute.

4

Pour espresso into the bottom of a tall glass or ceramic cup.

5

Steam or heat milk until it reaches 150–155°F, frothing gently to create a thin layer of foam (about 0.5 inch).

6

Slowly pour steamed milk into the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon. Pour the foam on top.

7

Drizzle 1–2 tablespoons of caramel sauce over the foam in a crosshatch or spiral pattern.

8

Serve immediately while hot.
