• Latte with caramel:
  One to two tablespoons of sugar should be dissolved, stirring slowly, in 20 ml of water. When the sugar reaches a golden hue, you need to remove from heat, cool and add 100 ml of pre-prepared espresso. Heat, without boiling, 100 ml of milk, then beat it into foam and pour into espresso.
