Caramel Marshmallow Latte Recipe

- In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Add the specified amount of caramel sauce and marshmallow syrup or mini marshmallows. Stir gently until the milk is warm but not boiling.
- Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into your Just Bottle insulated reusable mug, and sweeten it to taste with the designated amount of brown sugar or your preferred sweetener.
- Froth the specified amount of milk mixture using a milk frother or by vigorously whisking it. The combination of caramel and marshmallow creates a velvety, indulgent texture.
- Pour the frothed milk over the brewed coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon.
- Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra layer of luxury.
- Garnish with additional caramel sauce and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers or cocoa powder for a gourmet touch.

Top Tips
- Perfect Foam: To achieve the ideal froth, use cold milk and ensure your frother or whisk is clean. Warm milk evenly for a consistent texture.
- Layering Technique: When pouring the frothed milk over the espresso, pour it slowly over the back of a spoon to create distinct layers for a visually appealing presentation.
- Marshmallow Magic: If using mini marshmallows, let them float on top of the hot latte to slowly melt and infuse the drink with sweet marshmallow goodness.
- Creative Garnishes: Experiment with garnishes like caramel drizzle, graham cracker crumbs, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an artistic and flavorful finishing touch.
