🌤️ A Slow Morning & a Sweet Idea
Some mornings call for more than just caffeine. On one quiet Sunday, I stood in my kitchen craving something richer, colder, and creamier than my usual hot brew. My eyes fell on leftover caramel sauce… and an idea was born.
I wasn’t looking to reinvent coffee—just to enjoy it like a little treat. What happened next was magic in a glass: cold milk, a fresh espresso shot, fluffy whipped cream, and generous caramel swirls.
This wasn’t just coffee anymore.
It was a caramel whipped iced latte—and it made my morning feel luxurious, even without leaving home.
