Plant-Based Milk: I like to use coconut milk or almond milk here, but feel free to use any plant-based milk you desire!
Vanilla: This gives the caramel a delicious and rich flavor. If you have issues with histamine, be sure to use a non-alcoholic vanilla extract or vanilla beans.
Cinnamon: I love the warm flavor that cinnamon gives this recipe! If you have issues with histamine, trying subbing out the cinnamon for cardamom instead.
