Butterscotch Steamer
Description
Butterscotch Steamer combines lightly packed brown sugar cooked carefully with a splash of water until caramelized to a deep golden-brown color. This caramel base is then blended with unsalted butter, which adds richness and smoothness. Whole milk is slowly incorporated and gently heated, melting the caramel into a creamy, velvety liquid. Vanilla extract is added at the end to enhance the warm, sweet flavors.
The flavor of this drink is buttery and sweet, with pronounced caramel notes and a mellow vanilla finish. The liquid remains smooth without boiling, ensuring the milk does not curdle and the texture is silky. The beverage is steamed or heated until just hot enough to produce some steam.
It is best served immediately while still warm, providing a comforting alternative to coffee or tea. It can be enjoyed on its own or topped with frothed milk or whipped cream if desired.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 1/4 tsp salt
- water splash
- 2 Tbsp butter unsalted
- 2 cups milk whole
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the sugar, salt, and a splash of water in a small saucepan, and set over medium/medium-high heat. Make sure the sugar is evenly moistened, the water helps it melt evenly.
- Once the mixture starts to bubble, continue to cook for about 4-5 minutes. Monitor the sugar closely so it doesn't burn, turning down the heat if necessary, but you do want it to get nice and dark brown.
- Remove from the heat, and add the butter to pan. Be careful as it will sputter. Stir it in throughly so that it's fully mixed together, the mixture should resemble a caramel sauce.
- Slowly add the milk. The caramel mixture will harden up at first, this is fine, it will re-melt together as the milk heats up.
- Set the pan over medium/low heat and slowly heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts steaming and all of the caramel has melted into the milk. Note: don't let the milk come to a boil.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract. Serve immediately, topped with frothed milk, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
