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
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
