Cooking Tips:
Espresso Substitute: If you don’t have an espresso machine, instant espresso powder works great, just dissolve 1 tsp in 2 oz of hot water.
Dairy-Free Alternatives: Substitute almond milk with oat, soy, or coconut milk for a different flavor profile.
Sweetness Levels: Adjust the amount of caramel syrup to suit your taste. Add a touch of stevia or monk fruit sweetener for extra sweetness if desired.
