Salted Caramel Latte with Steamed Milk

The Salted Caramel Latte sachet made properly: a strong base, steamed frothed milk on top, a caramel drizzle and a pinch of sea salt.

Salted Caramel Latte With Steamed Milk

Salted caramel and Coffee is a brilliant combination, and this is how to get the most from the sachet. Make it strong with a small amount of hot water, then top it with steamed, frothed milk to soften and lengthen it.

You'll need

  • 1 Costa Salted Caramel Latte sachet (17g)
  • 100ml freshly drawn water, brought to a rolling boil then left for 1 minute to drop to about 90C
  • 150ml whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce, for the drizzle
  • A tiny extra pinch of fine sea salt, for the foam top
  • 1 piece of crystallised caramel fudge (about 10g), for the saucer
  • 1 warmed 350ml mug
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 small balloon whisk
  • 1 small handheld milk frother

Method

  1. Warm a mug with hot water and tip it out.
  2. Empty the sachet into the mug, add 100ml of hot water at around 90C and whisk for thirty seconds into a strong, glossy base.
  3. Warm the milk in a small pan until it just steams, then froth it into a thick foam with a handheld frother.
  4. Pour the milk over the back of a spoon so it settles on top of the coffee.
  5. Drizzle caramel over the foam and finish with a small pinch of sea salt.
  6. Add the salt on top rather than in the brew; stirred through it just tastes flatly salty instead of salted caramel.
What you'll end up with: A creamy salted caramel latte: a strong coffee caramel base under soft frothed milk, with a caramel drizzle and a salt finish that stops it being too sweet. Comforting and properly moreish.
