The recipe

Method

  1. Pour the milk into a saucepan and warm gently over a medium-low heat until steaming hot, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  2. Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter and brown sugar. Whisk until the butter has completely melted and the sugar has dissolved, creating a smooth and velvety butterscotch mixture.
  3. Pour into serving mugs and finish with a light dusting of ground cinnamon, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy while warm.

A few details make all the difference

01

Heat the Milk Slowly

Gently warming the milk over a medium-low heat helps create the smoothest possible steamer. Avoid letting it boil, as slow heating preserves the silky texture and prevents a skin from forming on the surface.

02

Whisk Until Velvety Smooth

Removing the milk from the heat before adding the butter and sugar allows everything to blend perfectly. Whisk continuously until the butter has melted and the sugar has fully dissolved for a rich, creamy butterscotch flavour.

03

Finish with a Touch of Cinnamon

A light dusting of ground cinnamon adds warmth and enhances the buttery caramel notes. Serve immediately while the drink is hot and frothy for the ultimate cosy treat.

Cook’s notes

Heating

Heat the milk until steaming hot to ensure a rich, silky texture and the best flavour. Once warmed through, remove it from the heat before adding the remaining ingredients.

The butter

Allow the butter to melt completely so it blends seamlessly into the drink, creating a smooth, velvety finish with no oily separation.

Tasting

Taste and adjust the sweetness to suit. A splash of vanilla syrup works beautifully if you'd like an extra touch of indulgence without overpowering the butterscotch flavour.

Whisk

Whisk well before serving to create a creamy, frothy top and evenly distribute the rich caramel notes throughout the drink.
