How to make a Hot and Iced Caramel Macchiato

Made properly, you really should use a glass mug or pint glass for the color gradient effect. And now, the recipe everyone really wants to see when they come here...

**This is not a real Macchiato. Macchiato is actually Italian for "marked with foam". A true macchiato is a shot, or double shot of espresso, with a layer of foam on top. A starbuck's caramel macchiato is more of a reverse latte with vanilla and caramel. Just so you know.

Things you will need

Espresso Machine, Milk, Espresso, Vanilla Syrup and your favorite Caramel Sauce.
