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

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

- 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
