Salted Caramel Latte 🧂🍮 Rich, Sweet, and Comfortingly Salty

— A Homemade Favorite With Buttery Café Flavor

This Salted Caramel Latte combines strong coffee or espresso with creamy steamed milk, buttery caramel, and a touch of sea salt for that perfect sweet-savory balance. It’s indulgent but easy, cozy but bold — a cup that tastes like a warm caramel hug.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• 1 shot espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee
• ¾ cup milk (dairy, oat, or almond work well)
• 1–2 tbsp caramel sauce or syrup
• Pinch of flaky sea salt (or ⅛ tsp fine sea salt)
• Optional: whipped cream, extra caramel drizzle, or cinnamon

Instructions

Step 1: Brew the Coffee

1. Brew 1 shot of espresso or make ½ cup of strong hot coffee using your preferred method.

Step 2: Heat and Flavor the Milk

1. In a small saucepan, combine milk, caramel sauce, and sea salt.
2. Heat gently until steaming, stirring to fully melt and blend the caramel.
3. Froth the milk if desired for a latte-style finish.

Step 3: Assemble the Latte

1. Pour coffee into a mug.
2. Add the salted caramel milk and stir to combine.
3. Top with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flair.

Flavor Variations

🍫 Salted Caramel Mocha

• Add 1 tsp cocoa powder or chocolate syrup to the milk while heating

🌰 Nutty Caramel

• Add a splash of hazelnut or almond extract for a nutty twist

🍯 Maple Caramel Latte

• Use half maple syrup, half caramel for a deeper, woodsy sweetness

Pro Tips

• Use high-quality caramel sauce for best flavor (or make your own!)
• Froth your milk for a café-style finish — use a frother, blender, or French press
• Want it iced? Let the coffee and caramel milk cool, then pour over ice and top with cold foam

Final Thoughts

The Salted Caramel Latte is buttery, creamy, and just indulgent enough to make any day feel special. It’s the perfect blend of cozy and bold — rich espresso, silky milk, and that irresistible touch of sweet-salty magic.

Brew strong. Stir sweet. Sip the swirl. 🧂🍮☕
