Add 4 teaspoons of instant espresso to a measuring cup. I use Nescafe Gold Espresso Blonde because it dissolves easily and has a smooth taste.
Pour in 8 ounces of cold whole milk over the espresso. Then take a spoon or small whisk and stir until the espresso dissolves. If the milk is very cold, it might take a little more time, so do not rush. Stir well until it is smooth.
Take your favorite tall glass or mason jar and fill it halfway with ice. This chills your drink and gives it that nice coffee shop feel. I sometimes use a color-changing cup just for fun.
Once your milk and coffee mix are ready, pour it over the ice in your glass. You will see the mix settle nicely and look just like the Scooter’s version.
Top your drink with a swirl of whipped cream if you want that café-style touch. It is creamy, sweet, and fun.
Take your caramel syrup and drizzle it right on top of the whipped cream. You can also drizzle a little around the inside of the glass if you want it to look fancy.
Pop in a straw and give it a little mix. Take a sip. Too strong? Add a bit more milk. Not sweet enough? Add more caramel. This drink is all about how you like it.
