Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir gently to combine, then leave it undisturbed.
Step 2
Allow the sugar to dissolve and begin to caramelize. Swirl the pan occasionally but do not stir. Cook until the sugar turns a deep amber color (about 5-7 minutes).
Step 3
Carefully whisk in the unsalted butter until fully melted and combined.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble vigorously.

Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Remove the caramel sauce from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 6
Brew 1.5 cups of strong coffee using your preferred method.
Step 7
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm and frothy. Do not boil.
Step 8
Divide the brewed coffee between two large mugs, filling each mug about three-quarters full.
Step 9
Stir 3-4 tablespoons of the homemade caramel sauce into each mug of coffee, adjusting to taste.
Step 10
Top each mug with frothed milk, a dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your 'Coffee in My Caramel'!
