- 1/4 cup barista oat milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Bring the maple syrup to a boil over medium heat and keep boiling until it reaches 230 F, roughly 10-15 minutes. Do not stir during this time, to prevent crystallization.- 3
No thermometer? Drop a spoonful of the hot caramel into a bowl of ice water. If it forms a pliable soft ball, it's around 240 F; a hard ball means 250-260 F.- 4
Remove the pot from the heat. Add the oat milk, vanilla, and salt and stir gently, stopping as soon as everything is combined. Don't over-mix.- 5
Let the sauce cool in the pot for a few minutes, then pour into a heat-safe glass jar. Let it cool at room temperature, then cover. It thickens as it cools; you may also chill it.- 6
Serve cold, or warm in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Keeps for 1 week refrigerated.Note- Equipment: a heavy bottomed pot that holds 4 cups, and a candy thermometer (optional).
