Let’s Get to Action
A classic for those who can’t seem to decide between either salty or sweet, the salted caramel mocha latte is undoubtedly a treat. Don’t hold yourself back with the same old traditional recipes! Now is the time of the year to get extra-festive.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup of Strong-Brewed Coffee or 2 Shots of Espresso
- 2 Tbsp of Caramel Syrup
- 1 Cup of Milk (or milk substitute)
- 2 Tbsp of Sweetener (sugar, brown sugar, honey, etc.)
- 1 Tbsp of Cocoa Powder
- Caramel Sauce* for drizzling
- Whipped Cream
- ⅛ Tsp of Sea Salt
Recipe:
Have that espresso all brewed up and get ready to make some magic. Either one or two shots work, depending on how strong you’re expecting things.
With a generic saucepan, warm up the milk over medium heat. Use a whisk to make sure it becomes a steamy froth.
Break out a mug and pour in your previously brewed espresso. Combine that cocoa powder, sweetener, and some caramel syrup until everything combines smoothly & dissolves completely.
Top it off with your frothed milk and add whipped cream with a bit of a caramel drizzle (if your feeling fancy). To finish things off, don’t forget to add a pinch of salt!
Savory & sweet; the perfect holiday drink idea! Stay warm, my friends.
