Make this Caramel Brûlée Coffee coffeehouse-style drink at home in minutes! Coffee, milk, caramel sauce and brown sugar come together for this sweet treat.

One look around my kitchen, and you would immediately realize that I’m coffee obsessed. I have a coffee maker, two French presses, a cold brewer, and a stovetop espresso maker.

While I normally take my coffee black or with just a splash of milk, every once in awhile I like to make something a little fancier.

Because I still had a small jar of bourbon caramel sauce left over from my Apple & Pecan Tart, I knew some sort of fancy coffeehouse-style-delicious drink was in order.

I was going for something reminiscent of a Starbucks caramel macchiato or caramel latte.

No worries if you don’t have homemade caramel – you can use any sort of store-bought caramel sauce for this, too!

About this Caramel Coffee:

This drink comes together in just minutes. It makes two servings, although you can halve or double the recipe for less or more servings, as needed.

The recipe is simply a combination of brewed coffee and warmed milk infused with caramel and brown sugar.

Top with whipped cream and extra caramel for that coffeehouse look!

The ingredients for this drink are simple and easy to find:

milk
caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
brown sugar
coffee
whipped cream

How do you make a Caramel Coffee?:

First, brew two cups of coffee using your favorite method. While the coffee is brewing, heat some milk, caramel sauce and a touch of brown sugar (for that torched sugar efffect) in a small saucepan on the stove, until steaming.

Combine the coffee and the warmed milk in mugs and top with whipped cream and more sauce.
