What is the difference between latte and macchiato?
The difference between a latte and a macchiato all boil down to the ratio of milk to espresso. You can also determine the difference between a macchiato vs. latte in that a macchiato is just espresso and steamed milk. Whereas a latte is espresso, steamed milk, AND foamed milk.
In this recipe, leave out the milk foam and you’ve got a true macchiato. Now, if you’re like me, add the velvety milk foam on for an even better experience and you’ve got yourself a Sugar Free Caramel Latte Macchiato.

Whole milk foams the best. If you're not consuming a super low-carb diet, we prefer whole milk to the blend of cream/water in this recipe.
