In a small pot, over medium heat, combine milk, caramel, sugar, and optional heavy cream. Stir gently as the mixture starts to heat up. You want the milk to warm without boiling, so keep an eye on it.
As the milk begins to steam, whisk it frequently to prevent sticking. If you're feeling adventurous, whisk vigorously to create some froth. This adds a lovely texture to your latte.
While the milk is heating, brew your strong coffee. If you prefer a bolder flavor, opt for a darker roast.
Once the milk is steaming and frothy, pour the brewed coffee into an 8-ounce mug.
Next, stir in the milk and caramel mixture. Make sure to mix it well so that every sip is packed with flavor.
Take a moment to taste your latte. If you like it sweeter, you can add more sugar or caramel according to your preference.
If desired, finish off your Easy Caramel Latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.
For a final flourish, drizzle some extra caramel over the whipped cream. It’s not just for looks; it adds an additional layer of sweetness!
Serve immediately and enjoy every sip. This is your moment to appreciate the flavors and warmth of your homemade latte.
