I though it would have been a bit richer with half and half, but this is good. It could’ve used more flavor though
I made this and it started off good! But then when I go to the frothing part it all went down hill. So I put the half and half and brown sugar in the pitcher I need to use for my frother but it’s not enough so I have to triple the amount of half and half and brown sugar mixture! So I go and try and froth the half and half and my frother doesn’t work! So I have to go and whisk the half and half but after a half and hour of frothing I give up because it doesn’t froth. So I pour the coffee into a mug and put in butterscotch (I used butterscotch because I didn’t have caramel) then the half and half. I drink it and it’s so terribly sweet I wanted to vomit. Over all I think this recipe has potential but definitely was not for me.
Love it!!! Didn’t have any half and half so I used two tablespoons two percent milk and two tablespoons sweetened condensed milk… Whole family loved it!
It was pretty good despite the fact that I used milk instead of half and half.
Saved me a trip to the coffee shop. Really tasty. I didn’t froth mine.
I made this per the recipe, using my milk frothier, with one change. I used 1% milk, instead of half and half because I was out of half and half. It tastes good; I think it would have been a bit richer with half and half, but this is good. I’ll get some and try it again to see what difference it makes. I sprinkled a bit of cinnamon on top.
Just the right Fall Flavors ??
Didn’t change a thing. It was marvelous and a lot less expensive than a coffee shop. Now I can have one for pennies anytime I want.
Delicious! Better than an overpriced drink from a Barista!
A nice treat similar to what you would buy at a fancy coffee shop. I made this exactly as written and it was tasty. A tad to sweet for me but that’s a personal preference. Will definitely make this again with less brown sugar as I love Carmel lattes.
Unequivocally delectable!
I made this recipe just as prepared, and it is fantastic! What a satisfying drink, and just 184 calories! I was easily consuming this many calories by dressing my coffee with cream and white sugar. This is a perfect drink for sipping while at my desk. Love it and I can’t wait to make it again…tomorrow morning!
This is definitely a dessert–so sweet, and really good. I could go with half the sugar and half the caramel sauce, and it would still be great for me.
Really good! As close to a coffee shop latte as I’ve ever come.
I have a question can you make this with tea instead of coffee because my mother doesn’t drink coffee and she wanted to try this
I often use caramel flavor syrup in my coffee so this tasted similar to my regular morning coffee. The recipe called for more caramel than I typically use, which was good, and the addition of brown sugar instead of my usual sweet n low was a very welcome change. A delicious drink.
I made this in my Ninja Coffee Bar and the presentation is very nice. I poured the caramel syrup into the mug first, then I poured the brown sugar-half-and-half frothed mixture and then placed the mug in the Ninja Coffee Bar and……voila! A layered coffee drink that is not only delicious but looks it also.
Just tried this recipe and it is heavenly!!! ?? Will make many more times.
I didn’t have the caramel topping, but this was delicious without it. YUM!
I love caramel lattes from coffee shops, but I thought this was too caramel-y and lost the coffee flavor. Next time I will use about half the caramel syrup.
I’m a total coffee wimp, so I love the really sweet drinks. I don’t have a milk frother, so I just use a whisk or a fork. I would never have thought to add brown sugar to my latte (or sundae sauce in lieu of fancy coffee syrup, for that matter)! This is a tasty drink warm, and I imagine it would be just as good iced. It *is* very sweet–my dad liked it as-is, but preferred it with a little less sugar.
