Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 pinch cinnamon
1 ounce espresso or 2 ounces strong coffee
3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 3–4 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
2. Lower the heat and add maple syrup and cinnamon. Let it bubble for 15 seconds while stirring.
3. Brew the espresso or strong coffee and pour it into your mug.
4. Heat the milk until steaming and froth it using a frother, whisk, or jar method.
5. Add the brown butter mixture into your mug and stir to blend. Top with the frothed milk and spoon some foam over. Dust with extra cinnamon if you like.
Notes
Always stir the butter while browning to avoid burning.
Use barista-style oat milk for best foam with plant-based options.
To make it iced, cool the syrup slightly and pour over ice with cold espresso and milk.
