Caramel Macchiato - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 ounces prepared espresso
1 ounce caramel syrup (use syrups prepared for coffees, not ice cream; I like Da Vinci brand)
1 tablespoon foamed milk
whipped cream (optional)
caramel topping (optional)

Preparation

Place caramel syrup in the bottom of cup.
Top with freshly prepared hot espresso.
Spoon very small amount of foamed milk on top of espresso.
Avoid getting any milk into espresso if you like it dry.
You can add just a wee bit of milk otherwise, but not a lot (or it won't be a macchiato anymore!).
If desired, you can top this with whipped cream, and a little bit of warmed caramel topping (squirted from a squeeze bottle is best).
Serve at once.
