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!
