A rich and indulgent iced latte featuring nutty brown butter caramel and a creamy vanilla foam topping, perfect for a quick and comforting coffee treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 2 shots freshly brewed espresso (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz)
  • 1 cup cold milk (240 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • 1–2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and stir in 3 tablespoons of caramel sauce until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Brew espresso: Prepare 2 shots of espresso (about 60 ml or 2 fl oz) using an espresso machine or brew a concentrated coffee. Pour into a tall glass filled halfway with ice cubes.
  3. Prepare vanilla foam: Combine 1 cup cold milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small pitcher. Froth vigorously with a milk frother or French press until the milk doubles in volume and forms a creamy foam. Alternatively, shake vigorously in a jar for 2 minutes and microwave briefly for a warm, foamy texture.
  4. Combine brown butter caramel with espresso: Pour the brown butter caramel mixture into the iced espresso and stir gently to mix evenly.
  5. Top with vanilla foam: Spoon the vanilla foam generously over the iced latte. Drizzle extra caramel sauce on top if desired.

Notes

Brown butter requires close attention to avoid burning; remove from heat as soon as it smells nutty and turns golden. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with oat or almond milk. Use freshly ground coffee for best espresso flavor. Avoid adding caramel directly to cold milk to prevent clumping. Serve immediately for best foam texture.
