½ cup fat-free milk
2 packages Splenda, Equal, Truvia or your favorite sugar substitute
2 teaspoons caramel sundae topping, such as Hershey’s or Smuckers
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Ingredients for Topping:
1 teaspoon caramel sauce drizzled on top
Instructions
1. Brew coffee extra strong.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together milk, 2 teaspoons caramel sauce, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract until well blended. Heat over medium heat, stirring until steaming, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer to a blender and process for 20 seconds until foamy. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry about it. Just whisk the mixture continuously with a wire whisk until foamy.

4. Drink immediately. Enjoy!
