Recipe for Crème Brûlée Macchiato


Ingredients


  • 1 oz strong espresso
  • 1 Tbsp caramel sauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla sauce
  • milk of choice
  • 2 drops of vanilla essence
  • 1 Tbsp chopped caramel pieces

Process


  1. Brew your favorite espresso blend.
  2. Swirl a line of caramel syrup around the inside of your cup. 
  3. Add extra sugar or sweetener to taste. This is optional.
  4. Warm your milk or alternative on the stove or in the microwave.
  5. Stir in caramel sauce and vanilla essence.
  6. Use a handheld or tabletop milk frother to froth milk. You want to reach the same level of fluffiness as a cappuccino.
  7. Gently pour hot frothed milk onto espresso.
  8. Sprinkle a small amount of sugar on top of the hot-frothed milk. Leave for a few moments until it forms a thin crust.
  9. Top with small chopped pieces of caramel.
  10. Enjoy your macchiato!

You can easily transform your short macchiato into a tall macchiato by doubling the quantities of ingredients. Be careful with the amount of sweetener you use as it can quickly become too sweet.
