Default Caramel Macchiato

Caramel Macchiato

The average coffee mug is probably equivalent to a Tall (12-oz). I am not following precise Starbucks standards, though if you must know it's properly one shot of espresso, about .75 oz syrup (.25 oz per 4 oz liquid capacity).

milk
1 shot espresso
.75 oz vanilla syrup (.25 oz per 4 oz liquid)
your favorite caramel sauce

In a regular-sized coffee mug, add vanilla syrup and steamed milk. Top with milk foam and add freshly brewed espresso through the foam.

Drizzle with caramel sauce.

Iced Caramel Macchiato

Same ingredients, plus some small ice cubes and (optional) whipped cream.

In a pint glass or iced tea glass (we're assuming 16 oz), add vanilla syrup and fill about 3/5 of the way with cold milk. Add ice almost to the top and pour espresso (2 shots would be typical) over the top.

If you've done it right, the espresso will mix in only about half way down without stirring. If adding whipped cream, add it here.

Drizzle the top with caramel and enjoy.
