How To Make A Homemade Butterbeer Latte

Step 1. Pour 2 shots of warm espresso into a 12-ounce mug.

Step 2. Combine the milk and caramel creamer in a metal beaker, then steam until heated to your preferred temperature.

Step 3. Stir in the butter extract and butterscotch syrup until fully blended.

Step 4. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the espresso.

Step 5. (Optional) Finish with a swirl of whipped cream and a pinch of gold sprinkles.

Variations And Add-ins

If you’re in the mood to switch things up, there are a few fun ways to tweak the flavors.

• Coffee: Swap the espresso with strong coffee for a milder coffee flavor.
• Spices: Add a tiny pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the milk for a spiced twist.
• Vanilla: Mix in a splash of vanilla extract if you want more of a sweet cream latte vibe.
• Toffee: Top with English toffee bits or butterscotch chips for extra texture and flavor.
• Dairy-free: Make it dairy-free by using almond milk and a plant-based caramel creamer.
• Espresso: To up the flavor even more, use a caramel or butterscotch-flavored espresso!
• Less sugar: If you want less sweetness, omit the coffee creamer and just use milk.

Tips and Tricks

A few simple tricks can make this Butterbeer Latte even better. These will help you get the best results every time.

• Use a thermometer if you’re unsure how hot to steam the milk mixture. Around 150°F is perfect without scalding it.
• Warm your espresso just before building the drink so it stays hot after adding the milk mixture.
• You can pour the milk mixture slowly over the espresso for a layered look if you’re serving in a clear mug.
• Make sure to leave room in your mug for whipped cream without causing an overflow.
