Let’s make a creamy coffee enhancer together. It’s rich and decadent. And it won’t cost much.
How to make salted caramel
Making salted caramel is easy! It adds a rich, buttery taste to your coffee. You only need a few ingredients to make this yummy caramel.
1. In a pot, add 1 cup of brown sugar.
Heat the brown sugar on medium. It will melt into a liquid. This makes the caramel’s deep flavor.
2. Turn the heat to medium and stir constantly until the sugar melts into a liquid.
Stir the sugar a lot to avoid burning. Watch it closely. You’ll smell a yummy caramel smell.
3. Add 6 tablespoons of butter and whisk until fully melted.
After the sugar melts, add butter. Whisk it well for a creamy caramel.
4. Let it sit for 1 minute without stirring.
Let the mix sit for a minute. This makes the flavors richer. Your caramel will taste even better.
5. Turn off the heat, then add ½ cup of heavy cream and whisk until smooth.
Pour in the heavy cream carefully. It might bubble. Whisk until it’s smooth and creamy.
6. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, mix it in, and set the caramel aside to thicken.
Add a teaspoon of salt. This makes the caramel salty and sweet. Let it get thick before using it.
