A procedure outlines the steps and ingredients necessary to prepare a sweet, flavored liquid designed to be added to coffee. This liquid typically combines dairy or non-dairy milk, sugar, and a caramel flavoring agent to create a richer, sweeter, and more palatable coffee experience. An example would be a detailed set of instructions specifying the amounts of heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a homemade caramel sauce required to produce a homemade version.
The ability to create personalized coffee additions offers several advantages. It provides control over the ingredients, allowing for adjustments to sweetness levels, dairy content, and flavor intensity. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with dietary restrictions or preferences, enabling them to avoid artificial sweeteners, preservatives, or specific allergens commonly found in commercially manufactured versions. Historically, such practices reflected a desire for both cost savings and greater ingredient transparency in homemade food products.
