• Coffee maker (Nespresso machine)

• Whisk or frother

Now, let’s start the brewing process to make this exciting cup of coffee at home.

Step 1:

The first thing to do is to brew your coffee. Use your coffee pods and put them in your Nespresso machine or a single-serve machine to brew a strong cup. Also, if you do not have the machine, pour hot water over the pod and let it sit till you can smell the aroma of espresso.

You can use other brewing methods as well. Just make sure that the water is less than the coffee so that you get a coffee that is suited for a latte. The amount of espresso you need is 2 ounces.

Step 2:

The next step is to heat the milk. Use your microwave or stovetop and let the milk come to a boil. The temperature of the milk needs to be around  150-160 degrees. Once you boil the milk, now it is time to froth it so that you get the foam over your latte just like you get in a café.

To froth the milk, you can use a frother or whisk, or even a blender. Froth for at least 30 seconds to get a foamy texture.

Step 3:

Now, in your coffee mug, add 1 tbsp of caramel syrup or as per your taste. Now, add the espresso you made and mix it well.

Step 4:

The last and the most fun step is to pour the hot frothed milk into the syrup and coffee mixture. Hold the foam when doing this so that you can put it on the top of the cup. Now, it is your wish to drink the coffee as it is or add whipped cream or pour some caramel sticks or cocoa powder on top of it.

Enjoy this decadent coffee in your home. The best part is that it is inexpensive to make at home, and you can use vegan milk or less syrup to make this coffee a bit healthy. Also, try making caramel syrup at home that way, you can control the quality of sugar in it.
