Homemade salted caramel sauce is amazing in espresso. I also use it to sweeten and complexify coffee ice cream, a latte, tiramisu, mocha drinks and coffee eggnog.
It's super easy to make, once you know how.
You'll need 500g (1lb) of white sugar, 1 liter of heavy cream (quarter of a gallon), 4 pinches of salt, and 4 minutes of your time.
It'll last a long time (several weeks) stored in a sealed jam jar, in your refrigerator.
I am using a teflon coated Hexclad pan here. It should be safe at this temperature, because sugar melts at 186C (367F) whereas teflon shouldn't be used over 260C (500F).
