Method
Coffee Preparation
Brew Espresso
Brew 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Set aside.
Steam Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Use a milk frother to froth the milk until it is light and airy.
Add Vanilla Syrup
In a large cup, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup. Pour the steamed milk over the syrup, leaving some space for the espresso on top.
Combine Espresso
Slowly pour the brewed espresso shots over the steamed milk and vanilla syrup, creating a layered effect.
Caramel Sauce Preparation
Make Caramel Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, add 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir continuously until it melts and turns a golden brown color.
Add Butter
Once the sugar has melted, quickly add 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter and stir until fully combined.
Incorporate Cream
Slowly pour in 1 cup of heavy cream while stirring. Be careful as the mixture may bubble up. Stir until smooth.
Finish with Vanilla
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly before drizzling.
Assembly
Drizzle Caramel
Drizzle the prepared caramel sauce over the top of the coffee in a crisscross pattern for visual appeal.

Enjoy your homemade caramel macchiato hot or iced, as preferred.
