Caramel Macchiato Three Ways

Emma Jones

A few weeks back I was realllllly wanting an iced caramel macchiato from Starbucks or really anywhere that could make me one at that point lol but our closest Starbucks is in a Target and closed so that just want going to happen. SO I started playing with the ingredients that go into a macchiato and came up with three versions of the caramel macchiato! I did a regular iced caramel macchiato, a hot caramel macchiato and a healthier version of an iced caramel macchiato. The majority of this explanation of these is in the video at the bottom of the screen but I wanted to type out the instructions and ingredients that you will need just in case you don’t have time to watch. But really its only like 5 minutes!

What you will need

  • ground espresso {regular coffee grounds honestly work just as well, I use this here}

  • Caramel Syrup- I used this here

  • Caramel Skinny Syrup {if you are doing the healthy version, I use this here}

  • Milk of choice

  • Ice

Iced Caramel Macchiato

  1. Cover the bottom of the cup with caramel syrup

  2. Fill half of the cup with milk and stir the milk and caramel until combined really well

  3. Add ice to the cup {the cup should be about 3/4 full now}

  4. Add two shots of espresso

  5. Drizzle caramel on the top

Hot Caramel Macchiato

  1. Cover the bottom of the mug with caramel

  2. Two espresso shots into the mug

  3. While that is brewing, add caramel and milk to a frother and froth that together

  4. Pour the frothed milk and caramel into the mug

  5. Drizzle caramel syrup on top

Healthy-ish Caramel Macchiato

  1. Fill the bottom of the cup with the Skinny Syrup Caramel

  2. Fill half of the cup with milk and stir the milk and Skinny Syrup until combined

  3. Add ice to the cup {the cup should be about 3/4 full now}

  4. Add two shots of espresso

  5. Taste to see if you would like to add more Skinny Syrup- if you do, only add a little it at a time! Too much can really ruin the taste of the coffee so just be cautious!

ENJOY! My favorite way is the non healthy iced caramel macchiato and Dustin’s favorite is the hot version! I would love to know if you make this and if you do which version was your favorite?!
