Hate the calories and the high price tag of your favorite Macchiato? Well, you can make it in the comfort of your own home! I use almond milk but you can use the milk of your choice. From Babble.

Time 25m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (recipe follows)
1/2 cup fresh espresso (I use decaf)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk, steamed and frothy with foam (or non dairy milk of choice)
3 -4 tablespoons caramel sauce (I used the same jarred caramel sauce that is sold as an ice cream topping)
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • To make the vanilla syrup, combine sugar and water in a sauce pan. Bring to boil over high heat and boil for 5 minutes. Let cool and add vanilla extract. Stir well and keep in a sealed container, refrigerated.
  • To make coffee, either use an espresso machine to make coffee and steam milk, or heat milk until hot, but not boiling on stove-top and transfer to a blender. Blend until frothy. For espresso, if you don't have a machine, just make double strength coffee.
  • The proper way to make a caramel macchiato is vanilla in the bottom, steamed milk, leaving 1/2 inch from the top, topped with foam, then your shot or shots of espresso, finally topped with a caramel cross hatch which is 7 lines one way 7 lines the other way and 2 full circles all the way around the outer cup.
