Labeled ingredients for this latte recipe.

Variations

  • You can make this dairy-free with oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or really any non-dairy milk.
  • Whole milk works best in this recipe but you can use skim milk if you prefer.
  • Make it your own by adding toffee bits, chocolate syrup, or extra caramel drizzle to the whipped cream on top.
  • Add a few extra shots of espresso to combat an afternoon slump.
  • Make these low carb by using 0 carb sugar substitutes, sugar free salted caramel coffee syrup, and half and half or heavy cream in place of the milk.
  • Use coconut milk and coconut cream in place of the milk and heavy cream to make this vegan.
  • Make sure you use unsweetened almond milk, or any other non-dairy milk product.
  • Sprinkle some fleur de sel or other large salt crystals on top just before serving.
  • Add a little splash of Bailey's Irish Cream or Kahlua.

🔪 Instructions

Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The full instructions are in the green recipe card below.

Step by step images for making the latte recipe.
  1. Pour the milk of your choice into a saucepan.
  2. Add the hot coffee.

🥫 How to store leftovers

If you have leftovers, and that's doubtful, you can pour it into a Mason jar, add a cover, and refrigerate.

Drink it hot or cold.

💭 Things to know

Expert Tip: If you don't have an espresso maker then make your normal coffee double-strength.

  • Heat the coffee mug up with hot water before adding the latte. It will stay hot longer.
  • If you want more flavor use salted caramel coffee syrup in addition to the other ingredients in your coffee drink.
  • Squiggle homemade caramel syrup around the inside of your cup before adding the latte for a little extra sparkle.

📞 The last word

I absolutely love this copycat Starbucks caramel latte recipe!

I like being able to adjust it to my personal tastes and eating plan. If you prefer a less sweet drink it's easy to adjust the syrups up or down.
