This recipe calls for a delicious caramel sauce, and it is critical that a sauce is used - not a syrup. Here's how to tell the difference:
Syrups are usually very sugary
Sauces tend to have a more savory taste to them - though caramel is used for desserts it isn't as sweet as many other treats
Sauces have a thicker consistency
Bonus: cafe-style caramel iced coffees often have vanilla syrup added, for a little richer flavor
Add as much sugar as you need, it will vary as everybody's taste buds are different.Milk can be whatever your personal preference is - full fat, 1%, etc.
