Equipment

  • Stovetop Pan
  • Milk Frother

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup brewed black coffee
  • tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup oat milk
  • 3 tbsp caramel syrup, using the recipe below

For the Caramel Syrup

  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup canned full fat coconut milk fall-fat canned coconut milk, not carton. Shake well before using
  • Pinch salt

For the Topping

  • Vegan Whipped Cream I use the Gay Lea brand of Vegan Coconut Whipped Cream in a can
  • Caramel Drizzle There should be leftover caramel syrup after you use up the 3 tbsp

Instructions
 

For the Caramel Syrup

  • Add all syrup ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat. Constantly stir it for a few minutes until it becomes a thicker syrup, then set aside.

For the Drink

  • To assemble the drink, pour 3 tbsp of caramel syrup into the bottom of the mug. I have step-by-step pictures above, so you can also follow along there.
  • Heat milk on the stovetop. Once it's boiling, take it off the heat and froth it using a milk frother. Oat milk works the best for this, because it froths more than other plant based milks I've used.
  • Pour the frothed milk over top of the caramel syrup in the mug. Stir it around to mix, otherwise the syrup will be stuck to the bottom.
  • Take the espresso and pour it into the mug over top of the milk. Stir it around.
  • Use vegan whipped cream to top it off. Drizzle with the remaining caramel syrup (you should have some left over after using the 3 tbsp above).
  • Enjoy right away!
