Notes
You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less caramel syrup depending on your taste preferences. Feel free to use plant-based milk (like oat milk or almond milk) for a dairy-free version. For a different flavor twist, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the drink. For extra indulgence, top with freshly whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel syrup.
