Since fall rolled into town this month, I’ve switched my iced drinks for hot. I actually don’t remember the first time I tried a salted caramel drink from Starbucks, but I’m obsessed. I started with the right-off-the-menu Salted Caramel Mocha. Too rich. I tried again with nonfat milk.  Still too rich. I lessened the mocha to just two pumps. But even the grande two pump nonfat salted caramel mocha was too much. Doesn’t mean I won’t order this occasionally, when I’m in the mood for a rich and heavy treat. But for the every day drink, I found a better way to get the perfectly sweet and salty taste.

Since the salted caramel is all in the toppings, not in the syrup, you can add it to any order. Meet my normal triple grande nonfat latte with salted caramel on top.  Hello, heaven.
