Cosy Cafe-Style Drink · Ready in Under 10 Minutes
Move over hot chocolate, there is a new drink in town. This spiced caramel latte is warm, silky and gently sweet, with golden syrup, brown sugar and honey melting into frothy milk and a whisper of cinnamon.
It is gluten free, vegetarian and comes together in one bowl in under ten minutes, so it is the perfect afternoon treat or after-dinner wind-down. If you love a sweet, cosy drink, you will find plenty more comforting favourites in my cookbook Everyday Thermo Cooking.
This is the kind of drink that makes an ordinary afternoon feel like a treat. The Thermomix does all the work, gently heating the milk and cream so the golden syrup, brown sugar and honey melt into a smooth caramel base, then whipping everything into a warm, cafe-style froth. No barista, no fancy machine, just one bowl and a few pantry staples.
It makes two generous mugs, so it is lovely to share, and the spice is completely up to you. Stick with classic cinnamon, or swap in whatever ground spice you are in the mood for. On a cold night you can even stir it into something a little stronger for grown-ups.
The magic is in the balance of three sweeteners: golden syrup for that deep caramel note, brown sugar for warmth and honey for a soft floral finish. A splash of vanilla rounds it all out. It is the sort of simple, real-food treat you will find all through Everyday Thermo Cooking, my collection of over 100 easy recipes for the Thermomix.
