Caramel Latte
This Caramel Latte combines milk with sugar-free caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and espresso or strong brewed coffee to create a creamy, flavored coffee drink. A homemade whipped cream topping, lightly sweetened and flavored with vanilla, adds richness and texture. The finished latte can be topped optionally with golden sugar and extra caramel sauce for added sweetness and visual appeal.
