Equipment

Espresso machine or coffee maker
Small saucepan or microwave-safe container
Measuring spoons
Large cup or glass

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened almond milk 240ml
2 shots espresso about 2 ounces or 60ml
1 tablespoon sugar-free caramel syrup 15ml
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream 15g / 0.5oz
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5ml
Ice cubes (optional for iced version)
Sugar-free caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)
Stevia or preferred sugar substitute to taste

Instructions

Begin by brewing your espresso using your preferred method. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use strong brewed coffee as an alternative.
While the espresso is brewing, heat the almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave until it is warm but not boiling. You can also froth the milk if you prefer a foamier texture.
In a large cup, add the sugar-free caramel syrup and vanilla extract. Pour in the hot espresso and stir well to combine the flavors.
Gently pour the warmed almond milk into the cup with the espresso mixture. If you've frothed the milk, spoon the froth on top.
For an iced version, fill a glass with ice cubes before pouring in the milk and espresso mixture.
Optionally, drizzle sugar-free caramel sauce over the top for an extra touch of indulgence.
Taste and add Stevia or your preferred sugar substitute if a sweeter drink is desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Keto Caramel Macchiato.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness of the caramel macchiato to your taste; some may prefer it less sweet while others may want a bit more sugar substitute.

If you're watching your caffeine intake, decaffeinated espresso shots are a fine substitute.

For a nut-free version, coconut milk can replace almond milk.

Remember, while this drink mimics the Starbucks version in taste, it's keto-friendly and will fit into your low-carb lifestyle!
