How to Make a Caramel Latte with Drip Coffee
I LOVE to make Homemade Gourmet Coffee Drinks at home! I’ll show you How to Make a Caramel Latte with Drip Coffee. I have an espresso machine but I know many don’t, so here’s a super simple tutorial for a yummy cup of Joe!
I love to spend a little time with God and make myself a special coffee before the whirlwind of kids come home from school. It’s just one of my 40 Easy Self Care Ideas for Busy Tired Moms!
You know that little break that every Mom needs right?! Not long ago I would have my first cup of coffee and have my quiet time at 5:00 a.m. in the morning, but as I get busier blogging and with my new VA services, I need to get more done in the early, early morning… job wise.
I still have my coffee first thing in the morning of course…as a matter of fact I have a timer on my coffee maker so that when I get up the coffee is made! It’s like having the maid come over and make my coffee before I get out of bed! LOL I can dream can’t I!?
Honestly though, I can’t live without my quiet time with God, oh and my Caramel Latté. Being a Mom of 7 kids has taught me to be ready, not just to meet the physical needs of my family (cooking, running errands etc.) but also to be ready for the emotional side of parenting.
If you have teens you know exactly what I am talking about. in the after noon I take time out of whatever it is I’m up to, grab my coffee basket and make myself a special coffee drink.
Right now my daughter and I are struggling in our relationship. She’s 16 and at that age where she wants to be independent and doesn’t want to be mothered, not out loud anyway.
I’ve found that if I am not ready and peaceful when she comes home from a hard day at school and sports, we are likely to get into a tiff about the stupidest things.
I can’t control her but I can control myself and handle things the way the Lord would have me to do. So everyday before she comes home I spend that time in God’s word and being renewed.
It has been making a world of difference in our relationship and I’m reminded everyday that our family verse for many years has been Love Never Fails.
Can you make a Latte with Drip Coffee?
Yes you totally can! I’m going to share with you how you can make this deelish Caramel Latte for yourself so that you can enjoy during your quiet time!
You don’t need an Espresso Machine for this easy recipe and I’m going to show you how you can make “steamed” milk without a milk frother!
How to Make a Caramel Latte with Drip Coffee
Ingredients:
- Any Drip Coffee I like to use My Cafe
- 2 Tbsp. Caramel Sauce
- 3/4 cup 2 % or less Milk

Make your Drip Coffee STRONG
Pour 2 Tbsp. of Caramel Sauce (more if you like!) into a fairly large Coffee Mug…at least a 14 oz. or 16 oz.
Then pour in your Coffee, leave a little room for your steamed milk
How to Make a Latte Without A Milk Frother
Pour in your milk ~ the less fat the better, but 2% works just fine.
You can use any use any kind of glass container with a lid. I like to use a mason jar.
Now put the lid on and shake, shake, shake until nice and foamy.
Take off the lid and put into the microwave for about 30 seconds, this will stiffen and set the foam so that you can scoop it out. If you prefer you can pour all of the Milk into your coffee.
You can drizzle on more Caramel if you really want to jazz it up…go ahead, do something special for yourself!
Moms, no matter what, you need to take that quiet time so that you have the patience to deal with those kids. We all know that it doesn’t matter what time of day you do it or where you do it…Just do it! I went outside with my cuppa because it was so beautiful out!

I’ve never thought about your trick for “steamed” milk. I’ll definitely be trying this as I love a good latte. Thank you for sharing at Merry Monday!
Thanks for everything you shared here today, the teen-raising encouragement, God’s word and a delicious coffee recipe. What a treat for us readers!
Thank you also for sharing this all on the Art of Home-Making Mondays! 🙂
I think this may be my new favorite beverage idea to make for the morning! It’s so hard to carve that me time out, but oh-so necessary! One of my goals this year is to do that more so that I can be a better mom to my 3 children. Starting the day before the kids wake (I have early risers to begin with!) is tough, but I definitely greet the day in a better mood! Thanks for sharing #client
Looks so tasty! (:
I am not a coffee drinker, but I do have a 16yo daughter and you are right, I need that quiet time with God. Thank you for the reminder.
I love how you said you can’t control her, but you can control you and how you feel but retreating in His Word…beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Stopping by from the link up! -Jess
