You clicked on this article, so I guess you are like me and have an unhealthy obsession with coffee. Am I right or am I right?

Getting coffee when you go outside and drink it in a cute café or while you are in the car or running errands is great, but it can be so pricey and unhealthy.

So I am here to help you. Over the years I started making different coffees, inventing or searching for recipes and making them my own, so I could have a delicious drink when I woke up every day without breaking the bank and breaking out my skin.

I personally prefer hot coffee, I think that's a European thing, but I still like some cold/iced coffee sometimes when it's very hot outside.

Let's start with the recipes!

• Hot Latte Macchiato:

You need:

• a cup of milk, plant-based or regular cow milk (whatever you like);

• 1 and a half tablespoon of liquid caramel;

• 1 pinch of cinnamon (optional);

• half a coffee spoon of vanilla extract;

• 1 big shot of expresso;

• whipped cream (optional).

How to make it:

• First put the caramel, 1 tablespoon of caramel in the mug and the vanilla extract, then put the expresso, and mix it.

• Once the milk is hot, pour it over the coffee and mix it with an electronic mixer to get the foam, unless you have a coffee machine that does that for you.

• Put some whipped cream on top and then put the rest of the caramel or add some cinnamon.

• Enjoy it!
