Ingredients:

• 1-2 shots of espresso
• ½ cup of whole milk
• 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce
• Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
• Cocoa powder or cinnamon, for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat and Froth Milk: Start by heating your milk of choice until it's warm and frothy. You can use a steam wand if you have one, or a manual milk frother. If you don't have either, you can warm the milk in the microwave and then use a whisk to create foam, or shake the milk in a sealed jar vigorously to create froth.

2. Add Caramel Sauce to Espresso: While the espresso is still hot, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of caramel sauce until fully dissolved. This creates a smooth, sweet base for your cappuccino.

3. Pour Milk Over Espresso: Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso and caramel mixture. Be careful to hold back the foam with a spoon or pour it separately to create layers.

4. Top with Foam: Gently place the milk foam on top of the milk and espresso mixture. You can use a spoon to create a smooth, even layer of foam.

5. Drizzle with Caramel: Finish your cappuccino off by adding a drizzle of caramel sauce on top. This not only adds extra flavor but also creates a beautiful presentation.

6. Garnish (Optional): If desired, sprinkle a little cocoa powder or cinnamon over the foam for an extra touch of indulgence.

7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your caramel cappuccino right away. The foam and caramel sauce will start to melt and mix with the espresso and milk if left sitting for too long.
