Description
When the weather cools and you’re craving something soothing and sweet that isn’t coffee or tea, this Butterscotch Steamer Recipe is your perfect cozy companion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk (whole milk recommended for creaminess)
- ¼ cup butterscotch syrup (store-bought or homemade)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
Optional:
- Pinch of sea salt (for balance)
- Butterscotch chips or drizzle for garnish
- Cinnamon or nutmeg (for a spiced version)
Instructions
Step 1: Heat the milk
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the milk until it’s hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. If using a milk frother, heat and froth at the same time.
Step 2: Add butterscotch syrup
Once the milk is hot, remove it from the heat and stir in the butterscotch syrup. Mix well until completely blended and smooth.
Step 3: Froth if desired
Use a milk frother, whisk, or immersion blender to create a light foam on top, if you like that creamy café-style texture.
Step 4: Pour and top
Pour the mixture into a large mug. Top with whipped cream and optional butterscotch drizzle or a few chips for extra richness.
Step 5: Serve immediately
Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use whole milk for the richest, creamiest drink. Plant-based milks work too but may froth differently.
- Heat gently to avoid curdling or burning the milk.
- Don’t boil—steaming hot is ideal, not scalding.
- Whisk vigorously or froth with a wand to create that signature steamer foam on top.
- Taste before serving: You can always add a bit more syrup if you want it sweeter.
