What kind of apples are best for making the apple syrup?

I like to use Granny Smith apples that have a nice tart flavor. Pink Ladies or Honey Crisp bith work great too, but in a pinch, most apples will work well.

You will be able to make around 10 drinks with this apple syrup. Keep the syrup covered in the fridge and it will keep well for 1 to 2 weeks.

Can I add caramel to make this a caramel apple macchiato?

Yes! I sometimes like to drizzle a little caramel sauce on top of the coffee, or, you could mix in a couple of tablespoons with the milk and apple syrup.

Can I use non dairy milk in this macchiato recipe?

You can use dairy or plant based milk to make this drink. Almond, oat milk, and soy all work well.
