How to Make a Butterbeer Latte
Drizzle caramel sauce into your mug to coat the bottom and add a touch of sweetness to every sip.
Add your freshly brewed espresso to the mug and give it a gentle stir to mix with the caramel sauce. If you don’t have an espresso machine, strong coffee or instant espresso powder works just as well.
Sweeten the latte with the caramel and toffee syrups. Adjust the amount based on your preferred sweetness level.
Steam your milk until hot and frothy. No steamer? Heat milk on the stovetop or microwave, then froth using a whisk or handheld frother.
Pour the frothed milk into your mug, holding back the foam with a spoon. Spoon the foam on top for a creamy finish. For the creamiest texture, use whole milk and chill your frothing tool for better results.
Drizzle your Butterbeer latte with a dollop of homemade whipped cream, extra caramel sauce and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a festive touch.

Absolutely! Oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk all work beautifully in this recipe. Barista-style versions often froth better.
Toast 1/2 cup pecans, then simmer them with 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup water. Strain and store the syrup in a jar.
