"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."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 3.5 cups

ingredients

• 29.58 ml vanilla syrup (recipe follows)
• 118.29 ml fresh espresso (I use decaf)
• 236.59 ml unsweetened almond milk, steamed and frothy with foam (or non dairy milk of choice)
• 44.37-59.16 ml caramel sauce (I used the same jarred caramel sauce that is sold as an ice cream topping)

• For the Vanilla syrup

• 473.18 ml water
• 354.88 ml granulated sugar
• 4.92 ml vanilla extract

directions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

We really liked this. I have one of those coffee machines that makes the coffee while it froths the milk below. I used some wonderful caramel sauce we got at costco. My kids wanted extra caramel sauce on theirs. We also used decaf. Thanks
