Caramel Macchiato

 If you do not have an espresso machine, you may use your favorite coffee. Here are the hot and cold versions.

Ingredients:
Espresso (or favorite coffee)
Milk
 Heavy Cream for Hot
Caramel (homemade or store bought)
Vanilla Syrup (sub with confectioner's sugar & vanilla extract)

Cold Macchiato: 
Drizzle a thin layer of caramel at the bottom of your cup
Add ice
Combine milk & vanilla syrup (sold in coffee section at grocer)
Carefully add espresso or coffee. Make sure it is not hot, or your glass can break! NO!!!

Hot Macchiato:
Heat milk in a saucepan. Do not heat up milk and espresso at the same time, or it may separate unless you're using an espresso machine.

Combine and add to your coffee mug.

If you do not have an espresso machine, you can get a little of that "foam" on top by taking heavy whipping cream, and ice, and adding it into a cocktail shaker for about 30 seconds. You will have a faux foam. Do not over shake or you'll get clumps.
The faux foam will gently set on top of your hot coffee, and it will warm up the faux foam.
Drizzle with caramel.

So enjoy your macchiato, or mockiato (I went there. Don't get crazy!)
