Ingredients- 180ml Milk
- 15g Caramel Sauce (approx. 1 Tbsp)
- Pinch of Salt
- 2 shots Espresso
- Ice cubes, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Pour 180ml of fresh milk into your milk frother. Ensure you don’t overfill it, following the frother’s maximum fill line for best results.
Step 2
Securely close the lid of the milk frother. This ensures a clean and efficient frothing process.
Step 3
Select the ‘hot foam’ or ‘hot froth’ setting on your milk frother and let it run. In about 1-2 minutes, you’ll have a wonderfully creamy and airy milk foam ready to go.
Step 4
In a shot glass or small container, combine 15g of caramel sauce with a pinch of salt. This is the base for your delicious salty caramel flavor.
Step 5
Brew 2 shots of espresso and carefully pour them into the shot glass with the caramel sauce and salt mixture.
Step 6
Using a small teaspoon, gently stir the espresso, caramel sauce, and salt together until well combined. Stirring ensures the flavors meld beautifully, creating the perfect sweet and salty base.
Step 7
Pour the prepared salty caramel espresso base into your serving glass. This concentrated layer will provide a rich flavor foundation for your latte.
Step 8
Fill the glass approximately 70% full with ice cubes. This will chill your drink and add a refreshing texture.
Step 9
Slowly pour the frothed milk (not the foam itself, but the liquid milk from the frother) over the ice and caramel base. Pouring gently along the side of the glass helps maintain the layers.
Step 10
Generously top your latte with the fluffy milk foam you created earlier. Spoon it on top to create a beautiful finish.
Step 11
For the finishing touch, drizzle a little extra caramel sauce in a zig-zag pattern over the foam. This adds visual appeal and an extra burst of caramel flavor.
Step 12
Congratulations! Your homemade Salty Caramel Latte is ready to enjoy. Sip and savor the delightful balance of sweet, salty, and creamy flavors!
