Print Recipe

A rich and nutty iced latte featuring browned butter blended with milk and espresso, delivering a creamy, refreshing coffee treat that’s easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 shots espresso (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz)
  • 1 cup milk (240 ml / 8 fl oz) – whole milk preferred, or oat/almond milk for dairy-free
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Place 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly as the butter melts and foams, about 3-4 minutes, until it turns light golden-brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat immediately to avoid burning.
  2. Pour the browned butter into a small bowl or measuring cup. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of milk, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Whisk vigorously until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Prepare 2 shots (about 60 ml) of espresso using your espresso machine or preferred method while browning the butter or mixing the milk, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the brown butter milk mixture over the ice. Slowly pour the hot espresso shots over the milk to create a layered effect. Stir just before drinking to combine flavors.
  5. Enjoy your creamy iced brown butter latte.

Notes

Use a light-colored skillet to monitor butter color and avoid burning. Whisk the milk-butter mixture vigorously to prevent separation when chilled. Chill glass beforehand or add extra ice for an extra cold latte. Brown butter milk mixture can be stored in the fridge up to 2 days; re-whisk before use.
