Ingredients

For the Caramel Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 125g/ ⅔ cup caster sugar
  • 120ml/ ½ cup double (heavy) cream
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • 3 tablespoon Bourbon

For the Bourbon Caramel Steamer (per serving)

  • 200ml/ ¾ cup whole (full fat) milk
  • 40ml / 2 tablespoon + 2 tsp caramel sauce
  • whipped cream
  • freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions

Make the Caramel Sauce

  • Put the water into a heavy based saucepan. Spread the sugar on top in an even layer
  • Set the pan over a medium heat and allow the sugar to gradually melt. As it melts you can gently swirl the pan a couple of times to ensure the caramel cooks evenly, but do not stir it
  • Once the sugar has melted, the caramel will begin to darken. Continue to let it cook until it reaches a lovely amber colour (but keep a close eye on the caramel as it can burn easily)
  • Add the cream and the salt, taking care as it can bubble up and is extremely hot. Mix with a small handheld whisk until fully incorporated
  • Stir in the Bourbon. Set aside

Make the Bourbon Caramel Steamers

  • Put the milk in a pan and warm until steaming hot and just beginning to bubble at the edges
  • Meanwhile, warm the serving glass and spoon in the caramel sauce
  • Pour the steaming milk over the caramel and stir until completely melted
  • Top with whipped cream and a dusting of freshly grated nutmeg
  • Enjoy immediately

Notes

1. Any left over Bourbon Caramel Sauce can be stored in a screwcap jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
2. Each serving prepared according to the above instructions contains approximately 1 ½ teaspoon Bourbon.
