This drink combines the rich flavors of caramel and brown sugar with the smoothness of coffee and milk. It’s a comforting treat that feels like a warm hug in a cup. Perfect for cozy mornings or afternoon breaks.
Directions
Blend the brown sugar into the half-and-half until it’s fully dissolved. Next, use a milk frother or a small whisk to give it a nice frothy texture. Brew your coffee and pour it into a mug, then stir in the caramel sauce until it’s completely melted. Finally, gently pour the frothed half-and-half over the coffee. Give it a little stir if you like, and enjoy!

Storing Food Safely
If you have leftover milk mixture, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before using. It’s best to prepare fresh coffee each time to keep the flavor bright.
