My brother, who lives in Upstate NY told me about Cake Vodka (it really does taste like cake) on my recent trip.He recommended me to try mixing it with Amaretto to make an almond paste cookie flavor, I adapted that below, also some delightful combination of flavors. Now that I was introduced to Cake Vodka, I imagined the endless possibilities so I decided since Coconut Cream Cakeand Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie are my favorite desserts, I would come up with a new drink to love for the summer months ,or anytime of the year for me!

Italian Hot or Cold Caramel Macchiato Coffee Recipes



Italian Caramel Macchiato Coffee
This recipe is a great combination of freshly brewed espresso with foamed milk and caramel syrup. Caramel macchiato is basically  a coffee drink that is quite similar to latte, but it contains caramel syrup and sometimes it may also contain vanilla syrup or vanilla extract. There are various methods to prepare a caramel macchiato recipe. Some prefer to drink it hot while some love drinking iced caramel macchiato. So, do you want to learn making caramel macchiato?

I had to experiment with my new toy my  new espresso machine! Unfortunately it broke the first month and had to buy another one. Then that broke so I got a much better one!
 This happens to be my favorite coffee whenever we go out... here is my simple recipe!


Italian Hot or Cold Caramel Macchiato Coffee 

Vanilla Syrup (you can purchase in a local supermarket or fine coffee shop)
1/2 cup fresh espresso
8 ounces milk, steamed with foam
3 to 4 tablespoons caramel sauce I use ice cream topping or make my own click here
Whipped cream
More drizzle for the top of the whipped cream of caramel

Recipe

 To make your coffee drink, add two tablespoon of vanilla syrup to a 16-ounce glass. Add 1/2 cup fresh brewed espresso followed by 8 ounces of steamed milk ( if you don't have an expresso machine you will have to heat the milk.
 Add 3 to 4 tablespoons caramel sauce to the drink. Stir before drinking.  Top with whipped cream and drizzle caramel on top.

Do you like chilled better?
Espresso - ½ cup

Cold milk - 8 ounces
Caramel sauce - 4 tablespoons
Vanilla syrup

If you love  chilled  or iced coffee drinks and caramel macchiato, then here is an iced caramel macchiato recipe for you. First brew half cup of espresso. In a 16 ounces glass and add 2 tablespoon of vanilla syrup to it. Then fill 3/5th of the glass with cold milk. Add in ice cubes and stir the liquid. Gently pour the cooled espresso over the ice cubes and see that the espresso gets mixed with only half of the milk down the glass. Then top the liquid with whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce over it.

Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Latte

Pumpkin Spice Latte seems to be the craze this year!

I can only tell you one cup isn't ever enough.

With prices so high, you can make it home in a slow cooker in a few hours, and leftovers are great reheated!

I have made a pot for so many families to get together and parties, along with taking it to work and letting the associates have a nice hot cup of this delicious brew all day.

There is nothing better to warm you up than a pumpkin latte, it's a sure proof way to take the chill out with comforting flavors of fall.

I have tried so many coffee shops absolutely love the fresh taste in this recipe. Nothing comes close to the rich, homemade, real pumpkin spice flavors in this brew.

Some use artificial flavoring, and it totally ruins the authentic flavor.

You may also like to try my Homemade Amaretto, which tastes great in a cup of any style of coffee.

One taste of the real deal here, and this will be your new favorite fall coffee for sure!

Shamrock Pistachio Cookies with Irish Coffee

Shamrock Pistachio Cookies with Irish Coffee for St. Patrick's Day.

A perfect pair for an afternoon treat.

I love this at night to take the chill out.

This light frosting gives the cookie just enough sweetness over a buttery flavored pistachio cookie.

A great cup of Irish Coffee hits the spot on any occasion, but with St.Patrick's Day just around the corner, this coffee goes great with these cookies.

Have a great St. Patrick's day...and hope you find your pot of gold
