Equipment

  • 1 Mug or Cup
  • Spoons
  • Espresso machine Or coffee maker
  • Milk frothing pitcher

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 shots Espresso
  • 12-14 ounces Milk
  • 1-2 tbsp Chinese Five Spice Caramel Sauce Adjust to your sweetness preference

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your mug by running it under hot tap water for 10-15 seconds.
  • Add the Chinese Five-Spice Caramel sauce to the mug
  • Heat 12-14 ounces of your milk of choice using the steam wand on your espresso machine. (See notes)
  • Pour espresso shots (or strongly brewed coffee) directly into your mug. Stir to combine. 
  • Pour the steamed milk to your mug.

Notes

If you don't have a steam wand, you can heat your milk in a separate milk frother, or on the stovetop. Just place milk in a small saucepan over medium to low heat until the milk reaches 140-155 degrees Fahrenheit. You can then use a handheld milk frother or whisk to build the foam. You can also heat milk in the microwave, but be careful not to burn it. I recommend heating for one minute, then for additional fifteen-second intervals until you reach the desired temperature.
