Ingredients

Apple Syrup

  • 2 apples chopped
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp butter extract

Caramel Syrup

  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Coffee

  • 2 shots prepared espresso
  • 1 cup oat milk

Instructions

Make The Apple Syrup

  • In a medium saucepan, add the apples, brown sugar, apple cider, cinnamon and butter extract.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for 30 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and syrupy. You should be left with 3/4 cup of liquid once it's reduced. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Run the mixture through a fine mesh strainer and pour the syrup into a mason jar.

Make The Caramel Syrup

  • In the same saucepan, add the apple cider, brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for 20 minutes, or until the mixture resembles caramel. You should be left with 1/2 cup of liquid once it's reduced.
  • Remove from heat and let cool. If you simmer for too long, the caramel will harden once it is cooled (which is actually fine - you can always throw it into the microwave to soften it before each use).

Assemble Drink

  • Pour the following into a large coffee mug in this order:
    1 cup oat milk, frothed
    1 Tbsp Apple Syrup
    1 tsp Caramel Syrup
    Stir
    2 shots Espresso
    Drizzle with Caramel Syrup
  • Store remaining syrups into separate mason jars and store at room temperature.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of syrups to your liking. Some like sweeter drinks, others not as sweet.
  • Make the syrups ahead of time for extra ease.
  • Use a barista-style or “extra creamy” non-dairy milk for best results.
  • Check the ingredients of the butter extract if you require dairy free ingredients or a vegan drink.
  • Warm or slightly hot milk froths better than cold milk.
  • You can also use whole milk if you are using regular milk.
