📋 Ingredient Notes

• Espresso shot - You'll need two shots of espresso.
• Milk - Any type of milk will work for this recipe, from whole milk to almond milk. We prefer using whole milk for its creamy texture and taste.
• Creme caramel syrup - I like using Monin or Torani syrups.
• Caramel sauce - I used Torani sauce, but any would work, even homemade caramel sauce.
• Milk - Any type of milk will work for this recipe, from whole milk to almond milk. I prefer using whole milk for its creamy texture and taste.
• Whipped Cream - For topping the latte and adding an extra touch of indulgence.
• Turbinado sugar - It is kid of a raw brown sugar that I like to use for a brulee topping and it gives a nice crunch to the latte. You can also use toffee bits.
