The Essence of the Starbucks Salted Caramel Latte

At its heart, the Starbucks salted caramel latte blends contrasting flavors. The deep richness of caramel, the slight hint of sea salt, and the robustness of coffee come together in a lovely harmony of taste. But what makes our version unique?

 

Why Opt for a Homemade Version?

While coffee shops offer convenience, there’s a particular satisfaction in making your favorite drink at home. It is cost-effective and allows you to adjust the flavors to your liking, ensuring every sip is flawless.

Starbucks Salted Caramel Latte

Ingredients

  • 4 oz strong espresso or robust brewed coffee

  • 3 tbsp caramel syrup (adjust to taste)

  • 4 oz milk (whole milk or your favorite alternative)

  • 1 ½ tsp turbinado sugar

  • A pinch of sea salt flakes

  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

  • Extra caramel syrup (for drizzling, optional)


Instructions

1. Make the Sugar-Salt Garnish

  • In a small bowl, mix the turbinado sugar with a pinch of sea salt flakes.

  • Stir until well combined and set aside for topping.


2. Brew Your Coffee

  • Brew a strong shot of espresso or a small cup of bold coffee.

  • Pour it directly into your favorite mug.


3. Add Caramel

  • Stir caramel syrup into the hot coffee. Start with 1–2 tablespoons, then adjust for your desired sweetness level.


4. Froth the Milk

  • Heat the milk until it’s warm but not boiling.

  • Use a frother to create a creamy foam. (No frother? Simply whisk the milk vigorously for a minute until slightly frothy.)

  • Gently pour the milk into the coffee, holding back some foam, then spoon the foam over the top.


5. Optional Indulgence

  • Add a swirl of whipped cream for that coffeehouse touch.


6. Garnish & Serve

  • Drizzle with a little extra caramel syrup.

  • Sprinkle your sugar-salt mixture over the top for that signature Starbucks-style finish.

  • Sip, relax, and enjoy your homemade café experience.


Tips for the Best Latte

  • Use freshly brewed espresso for the richest flavor.

  • Swap in almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.

  • For an iced version, simply pour the coffee and caramel over ice before adding cold frothed milk.
