For the past month, I’ve been missing my Peet’s Carmel Latte because I’m broke! We are cutting back on extras at home to save some money for a family trip. The one thing I’m giving up is my Weekly Peet’s Latte fix however I’m craving one so bad. I decided to make my own. Guess what.. I’m going to be able to save the money pretty quickly because I like my homemade latte! I had everything in my fridge except the Carmel Syrup. That was simple enough to buy at the grocery store. Now I can enjoy a latte whenever I want!
Caramel Vanilla Latte
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup of your favorite brewed Hot Coffee ( recommend a caramel or vanilla flavor )
- Add 1 tablespoons of the Caramel Sauce
- Add 1 tbsp Salted Caramel Syrup
- 3 tablespoons of Coffee-Mate French Vanilla Liquid Coffee Creamer
- 1 cup of Milk
Directions:
- Brew the Coffee
- In a big coffee cup add the Caramel Sauce
- Add Salted Caramel Syrup
- Stir until the caramel is dissolved
- Add Coffee Creamer
- In a small pan, heat milk over medium heat
- Whisk constantly to create foam
- Once the milk is hot, remove from heat and pour the milk slowly into your coffee cup
- Use a large spoon to hold back the foam while you are pouring
- Add the foam to the top
- Drizzle Caramel sauce on top
Oh my this recipe is simple and I didn’t even mess it up- it actually taste pretty darn good. I think it might even taste better than my Peet’s latte. Don’t be mad Peet’s I will be back someday but for now I will be making my own latte. I want to try White Chocolate Mocha next. I’m saving $10 3x a week (when we go I get a latte, my daughter a frappuccino and a cookie) so that is $30 a week and $120 a month. Oh wow, when I break it down like that I’m very happy my DIY Latte tastes good, makes me feel better.
Question for our readers: What HOT DRINK do you buy that you can make at home?
