What You Will Need
Gather these ingredients and tools. This makes one large latte.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of apple cider
- 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice
- Whipped cream for topping
- A pinch of cinnamon or apple pie spice (optional)
Tools
- A small saucepan
- A milk frother or a small jar with a lid
- A mug
How to Make Your Latte
Follow these steps. They are simple.
Step 1: Heat the Cider
Pour the apple cider into your saucepan. Heat it on the stove over medium heat. Do not let it boil. You want it hot and steaming.
Step 2: Prepare Your Coffee
Make your espresso or strong coffee. Pour it into your favorite mug.
Step 3: Mix Cider and Caramel
Add the two tablespoons of caramel sauce to the hot apple cider. Stir it well until the caramel dissolves. This creates your apple-caramel base.
Step 4: Froth the Milk
Pour your milk into a frother. Froth it until it is warm and has foam. If you lack a frother, heat the milk in your microwave for 30 seconds. Then put it in a jar. Seal the lid tightly and shake it very hard for 30 seconds.
Step 5: Combine Everything
Pour the hot caramel-apple cider mixture into your mug of coffee. Stir it once. Then, slowly pour the frothed milk over the back of a spoon into the mug. This helps layer the milk on top.
Step 6: Add the Final Touches
Top your drink with a mountain of whipped cream. Drizzle more caramel sauce over it. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
Helpful Tips
You can use dairy milk or plant-based milk. Oat milk works well. If you want a less sweet drink, use less caramel sauce.
You can heat the apple cider in your microwave. Use a microwave-safe cup and heat for one minute
Enjoy your homemade caramel apple latte. It tastes like autumn in a cup. You just became your own barista.
