Incredibly creamy! This homemade Caramel Latte is the simplest coffee recipe you can try at home. It is super easy and quick; all you need is milk, coffee and caramel sauce!
Caramel Latte Recipe
You must have had at least a cup of Caramel Latte from Starbucks, and it tasted amazing, didn't it? Believe me, this Latte is just as good as that but with a little cost to make.
My Caramel Latte is creamy and rich with a flavorful taste indeed. It is the drink that every coffee lover should try.
I like to have my Latte in the morning for breakfast. A sip from it gives me a kick to start my day with more energy.
Ingredients
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Milk. I use whole milk for a creamier and thicker texture. You can use any type of milk you like such as non-dairy milk.
Note: Make this recipe vegan-friendly by using plant-based milk like almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.
Coffee. I used brewed coffee, you can replace it with espresso if you have an or espresso maker for a strong coffee flavor.
Heavy Cream. Heavy cream gives rich flavor to your Latte.
Caramel sauce. It will give your latte a rich and sweet taste. I prefer to use caramel sauce over caramel syrup, which has a thinner texture. Also, you can use salted caramel to make a salted caramel latte.
Granulated Sugar. Granulated sugar will serve as a sweetener for your latte. You can use maple syrup instead.
Whipped Cream (optional). I like to top my latte with whipped cream.
How To Make Homemade Caramel Latte?
One: In a small saucepan, over medium-low heat, combine milk, heavy cream, caramel sauce and sugar. Stirring frequently until milk is just beginning to steam.
Two: Pour the brewed coffee into a large mug, stir in caramel and milk mixture. Top with whipped cream, and drizzle with more caramel. Serve warm!
Note: Adding ice cubes into your latte and serving it cold is also possible.
Serving Suggestions
Latte and Sourdough French Toast or Buttermilk French Toast are so good together.
Another good pair for your latte is Peanut Butter Pancakes or Oat Milk Pancakes for breakfast.
Can I Make A Decaffeinated Version Of This Latte?
Of course, and it is quite just as easy! You just have to use a decaf type of coffee instead of the regular ones that contain caffeine.

Memoria says
Latte just means milk in Italian, plain ol' cow milk. That's why the correct name is "caffè latte" once you add espresso to the latte/milk. So this caramel drink is really a caramel caffè latte. Plan to try it out tomorrow morning.
