What Coffee is Used in Starbucks Caramel Macchiato?
Starbucks makes the Caramel Macchiato with espresso, vanilla syrup, steamed milk, and caramel sauce.
While it is an express-based beverage in Starbucks, when I make it at home I just use my normal coffee. It is VERY important to make sure you are using a GOOD coffee, the bland stuff will not give you the results that you are dreaming of.
Decaf Caramel Macchiato
If you want to have a decaf Caramel Macchiato that is easy to do with this recipe, just use decaf coffee. Follow the rest of the directions that are below, and just change the coffee out for decaf.
How to Froth Milk in a Mason Jar
Mason Jar Foamy Milk is really easy to make. If you do not have a milk frother then you can make frothy milk in a mason jar using the microwave.
Shake 2% milk in a mason jar until it is foamy than remove the lid, and microwave for a 30 seconds.
Caramel Macchiato Ingredients
You will need coffee. For me I stick with whatever ground coffee or Kcups I have on hand (I only buy good coffee). Personally I like to use Starbucks Coffee or a Starbucks Coffee Kcup when making this at home because I do love their coffee.
For this Caramel Macchiato you are going to also want to use a good caramel sauce. You can use homemade Caramel Sauce or my favorite store bought one is the Ghirardelli Caramel sauce.
You are going to need whipped cream as well, personally I like using homemade whipped cream but you can opt for store bought.
Use a good Caramel Flavor syrup and cinnamon flavored syrup. I personally like Torani Syrups.
Foamy milk. I know not everyone has a milk frother, so if you do not have no worries. You can still make this amazing coffee recipe. All you have to do is use a mason jar to heat up the milk and then shake it really well. This will give you hot foamy milk, which you need for making a macchiato.
