Can I make this latte dairy-free?

Absolutely! Almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk all work well. Oat milk foams the best and gives you that rich, coffee-shop vibe.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prep the caramel milk mixture and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. When you're ready, just heat, add coffee, and enjoy.

Can I use store-bought toffee bits?

Yes! Any toffee bits will work. If you can’t find them, crushed caramel candies are a great substitute.

What if I want a stronger coffee flavor?

Use an extra espresso shot or reduce the milk a bit. It’s your latte—build it exactly how you love it.

Can I make a bigger batch for Christmas brunch?

Totally! Multiply everything by 4 or 6 and keep the caramel milk mixture warm in a small slow cooker. Guests can ladle it over fresh coffee. Pure holiday joy.
