Ingredients
Scale
1 shot espresso (or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)

2 tablespoons salted caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 tablespoon hazelnut syrup
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Pinch of sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew your espresso or strong coffee shot. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk with the salted caramel sauce and hazelnut syrup over medium heat. Whisk until warm and fully combined. Do not boil.
Pour the warm, sweetened milk mixture into your favorite mug.
Add the brewed espresso or coffee to the mug. Stir gently to combine all layers.
Top with whipped cream, if desired. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the top for an extra flavor pop.

Notes
To make this lighter, use skim milk or a lower-fat plant-based milk.
Adjust the amount of caramel and syrup to match your preferred sweetness level.
You can substitute almond or pecan syrup for hazelnut if you prefer a different nut flavor.
