In my view, probably the most scrumptious and essential a part of this recipe is the topping! In a separate glass, mix half and half and caramel sauce.
Subsequent, use a milk frother to froth your cream till the consistency is someplace between cream and whipped cream. When it turns into a bit thicker and extra foamy, you’ll comprehend it’s the proper consistency in your beverage.
