Craving a salted caramel mocha but don’t want to leave the house? Here is how you can make a deliciously creamy caramel coffee drink from the comfort of your home.
As you can tell, I love making coffeehouse drinks at home. Not only does making my own coffee drinks usually save money, but it also allows me to choose the ingredients.
Pinning lots of coffee drink recipes is a great idea for party planning, too.
Perhaps you want to create a coffee bar for your next gathering. Review all your pins to line your bar with the necessary ingredients.

You can create little recipe cards so your guests can make their favorite drink, or go rogue and choose their own adventure.
In any case, this salted caramel drink is good to have for yourself or to share.
If you’d like a healthier cozy drink option, give this cinnamon tea a try. It’s caffeine-free, loaded with health benefits, and only two ingredients if you count water!
