Instant homemade caramel latte suggestions

This recipe is instant, so your favourite instant coffee works but you’ll probably want a stronger blend. You can also use fresh coffee like you want to make it if you want to. Be careful of too much caramel essence and you can add a drop of vanilla too. You can even add a dash of cocoa, cinnamon or nutmeg powder on the top if you’re feeling creative. It’s a great way to start a winter morning.
