How to Make Starbucks's Salted Caramel Mocha at Home

Ingredients

  1. For the Chocolate Sauce
    1/4 cup dark coffee
    1/4 cup cocoa powder
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 tablespoon vanilla extract
    pinch of kosher salt
  1. For the Caramel Syrup
    1/4 cup water
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    splash of caramel extract
  1. For the Sugar Salt
    1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    1/2 tablespoon coarse or flaky salt
  1. For the Salted Caramel Mocha
    2 tablespoons chocolate sauce
    1 tablespoon caramel syrup
    1/4 cup espresso
    1 cup milk
    pinch of sugar salt

Directions

  1. Start by making the mocha sauce by whisking together coffee, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a cold saucepan until the large granules have dissolved.
  2. Turn the heat on and up to medium-high, whisking the mixture consistently until it has thickened.
  3. Once the mixture has thickened and all the ingredients have fully combined, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool.
  4. While the mocha sauce is cooling, make the caramel syrup by combining sugar and half of the water (2 tablespoons) in a saucepan over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, making sure not to stir the mixture while it’s warming up.
  5. Boil the syrup for about 10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden in color.

    While the syrup is cooking, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of water separately.

  6. Remove the syrup from the heat once it has reached a light golden hue, and quickly whisk in the remaining hot water along with the caramel extract.
  7. Let the syrup cool slightly before adding it to the salted caramel mocha.
  8. To build your latte, prepare one shot of espresso and steam or warm your milk.
  9. Into a clean mug, pour chocolate sauce, caramel syrup, and warm espresso. Stir together until thoroughly combined.
  10. Gently pour in steamed milk and any remaining froth.
  11. Add a generous drizzle of caramel sauce and sprinkle sugar-salt mixture on top.
