Pro Tips

• Use homemade caramel syrup for richer flavor - just sugar, butter, and cream
• The butter extract is key for that authentic scone flavor - don't skip it
• Warm your mug beforehand to keep the drink at optimal temperature
• Adjust water ratio to taste - less for stronger coffee, more for milder
• Try a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for extra bakery vibes
• Make extra caramel base and store in fridge for quick future servings
