STEP TWO
Froth the milk. If using the Nespresso® Aeroccino, froth milk on the medium froth setting.
STEP THREE
Pour the Starbucks® Vanilla Syrup into the bottom of your mug.
STEP FOUR
Fill your mug ¾ full with milk and then fill the remaining ¼ with foam.
STEP FIVE
Pour espresso shot through milk and milk foam.
STEP SIX
Drizzle caramel sauce on top.
STEP SEVEN
Enjoy.
