# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's ready in minutes, no fancy espresso machine or barista training required.
  • Real vanilla bean paste makes it taste genuinely indulgent, not artificial or over-sweetened.
  • The caramel drizzle turns a simple drink into something that feels like a small celebration.
02 -
  • The melting point matters—if your whipped cream is hot or room temperature, it'll sink into the drink like a disappointment. A few minutes in the freezer makes all the difference.
  • Don't over-blend or you'll aerate it into a weird foam; you want smooth and thick, not a bubble bath.
03 -
  • Freeze your glasses for five minutes before pouring—it keeps the drink colder longer and feels indulgent.
  • Use a spoon to hold back the whipped cream while you drizzle caramel underneath for a prettier presentation and better flavor distribution.
