Ingredients

1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
½ cup ice cubes
1 cup milk
2 shots espresso
1 tablespoon caramel sauce

Instructions

Brew espresso shots and set aside.
2 shots espresso

1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
Add ice to the glass and pour milk over the top.
1/2 cup ice cubes, 1 cup milk
Slowly pour your espresso shots over the milk.
Finish with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top.

Notes

To achieve the upside down caramel macchiato look, it is important to add your syrup, ice and milk to the glass first and to slowly pour your espresso over the top.

For a stronger caramel taste, add some extra caramel sauce to the base of the glass with the vanilla syrup.

I have used caramel sauce in this recipe, but you can also use caramel syrup.
