Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • espresso machine
  • Milk frother
  • Mixing bowl
  • tall glass
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

Coffee Base

  • 2 shots espresso freshly brewed
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for browning
  • 1 cup milk whole or oat milk
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar adjust sweetness if desired
  • 1 cup ice optional for iced version

Toppings

  • 0.25 cup whipped cream optional topping
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and nutty smelling. Remove immediately.
  • Brew fresh espresso shots while the butter cools slightly. Warm milk gently until smooth and creamy.
  • Whisk brown butter and brown sugar into warm milk carefully until fully blended and lightly frothy.
  • Fill glasses with ice for chilled texture, or skip ice for a warm comforting coffee version.
  • Pour espresso into serving glasses. Add brown butter milk slowly, then top with whipped cream and cinnamon.

Notes

Use extra milk for softer texture or stronger espresso for bolder flavor. Brown butter darkens quickly, so watch carefully while cooking. Freeze leftover coffee into cubes for iced drinks without dilution. Customize flavor with vanilla or maple syrup. Store leftover brown butter mixture refrigerated for two days and whisk before serving.
