Ingredients
Butterscotch Steamer Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar (firmly packed, either dark or light)
- Cinnamon for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: Pour 4 cups of milk into a pot and warm it over medium-low heat until the milk is hot, but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
- Add Butter and Brown Sugar: Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in 2 tablespoons of salted butter and ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar until the butter is fully melted and the sugar has completely dissolved, creating a smooth butterscotch-flavored milk.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the hot steamer into cups. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for a warm, aromatic finish. Serve the drink hot for maximum comfort.
Notes
- You can use either dark or light brown sugar according to your preference; dark brown sugar will give a deeper molasses flavor.
- Use low or whole milk depending on desired richness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a dairy-free butter alternative.
- Heat milk gently to avoid boiling over or curdling.
