Notes
A macchiato consists of espresso and milk, but if you don't have an espresso machine, you can make this drink with strong black coffee instead. Also, this recipe calls for a drizzle of caramel sauce and cinnamon sugar, which you can make by mixing 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 4 tablespoons white sugar. For a richer drink, top it off with whipped cream before adding the caramel and cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup water
2 cinnamon sticks
Peels from 1 granny smith apple
1 shot espresso (or 1/3 cup strong coffee)
Milk of your choice
Ice
Whipped cream (optional)
Caramel sauce (optional)
Cinnamon sugar (optional)
Directions
- Combine the dark brown sugar, water, apple peels, and cinnamon sticks in a small pot or pan over high heat. Whisk well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to medium.
- Simmer until the liquid reduces by about half.
- Strain the mixture, and let cool.
- In a glass, add 1/2 ounce (about 1 tablespoon) syrup. You can add more or less depending on your desired level of sweetness.
- Fill the glass about halfway with milk. Follow with ice and a shot of espresso or strong black coffee.
- Finish with whipped cream, caramel sauce, and/or cinnamon sugar, if desired.
- Enjoy!
