Ingredients

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 cups milk

a pinch of flaked sea salt

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 tbs heavy cream

1 tbs salted apple caramel drizzle

1 small apple

1 tsp salted butter

1 large stick of cinnamon

2 shots strong brewed espresso

a pinch of flaky sea salt

4 tbs apple brown sugar syrup

1/8 tsp nutmeg

a slice of ginger

1/2 cup water

1 cup organic apple juice

3/4 cup organic apple juice

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the salted apple caramel drizzle. in a small pot, combine 1 cup of apple juice and 1/4 cup brown sugar. turn stove on to medium heat and boil the apple juice mixture until it has changed colour to a deep brown. this process takes about 20-25 minutes.

Step 2

Once the apple caramel has changed colour, turn the heat all the way down to low, and add in the butter and cream. spin the pot to stir in the butter and cream. be careful has the caramel will bubble and it will be super hot. let the caramel simmer for a minute or two before removing from heat. sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt and set aside until ready to use.

Step 3

While the caramel is cooking, prepare the brown sugar apple syrup. combine all of the ingredients for the syrup in a small pot, and turn the heat up to medium/medium high. bring the syrup up to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer the syrup for about 15 minutes. remove from heat and strain syrup.

Step 4

Steam the milk of your choice using a milk frother. pour as much of the apple syrup as you’d like into the bottom of a mug. pour the hot milk over top, and give it a stir. pour over the hot espresso, then drizzle with the salted apple caramel drizzle. finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and enjoy right away.
