How to Make A Caramel Apple Latte

Step Two: Warm And Flavor Milk

In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk over medium-low heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scalding and ensure an even temperature. Once the milk is warm, add 1 tablespoon caramel sauce, apple butter, cinnamon, and vanilla to the saucepan. Stir well to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Notes

If you have an espresso machine, 1-2 shots of espresso is delicious and the “right” way to make a latte.  But I don’t have one so this is what I do. 🙂
