Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee strong and hot
- 1 cup milk any kind, including almond or oat
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce divided
- 1 tablespoon apple butter
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- whipped cream optional
- additional caramel sauce for garnish
- cinnamon stick for garnish optional
Instructions
- Brew the Coffee and Drizzle Caramel. Brew a cup of strong and hot coffee using your preferred method. (You can use a drip coffee maker, French press, or any other brewing method you like.) While it is brewing, 1 tablespoon drizzle caramel sauce (NOT syrup) inside mugs.
- Warm and flavor the 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.
- Assemble. In a heat-resistant glass or mug, pour the brewed coffee. Slowly pour the warm and flavored milk over the coffee. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel. For an elegant touch, add a cinnamon stick as a garnish.
- Garnish. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel. For an elegant touch, add a cinnamon stick as a garnish.

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. :)
