Calories: 294kcal
Ingredients
- 12 oz reduced fat or whole milk
- 2 tbsp vanilla syrup
- 2 oz espresso
- caramel sauce to drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the espresso using a macchinetta or espresso machine. (You may use a very strong regular coffee, but you'll need to double the amount: use 4 oz instead of 2).
- While the espresso is being made, warm up the milk. Froth the milk using milk frother. If you don’t have milk frother, you can use a regular whisk instead. (Just whisk the milk until foam forms).
- Pour the espresso into a measuring cup.
- Add vanilla and milk to the cup. Then, pour the espresso on top of the frothy milk creating a “mark” on the foam. (Macchiato means “marked” in Italian).
- And the last step is to drizzle the caramel on top. At Starbucks, we make two circles around the edges of the cup and then we make a grate pattern in the middle.
