Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups milk (whole milk or any plant-based milk)
- ¼ cup butterscotch chips
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
Optional Garnishes
- Whipped cream for topping
- Butterscotch sauce or extra butterscotch chips for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add 2 cups of milk. Warm the milk slowly, making sure not to bring it to a boil to avoid scorching.
- Add Butterscotch Chips and Brown Sugar: Stir in the butterscotch chips and brown sugar. Whisk continuously as the chips start to melt into the warm milk to ensure even mixing.
- Stir Until Smooth: Keep stirring until the mixture is completely smooth and all the butterscotch chips have fully melted, which typically takes about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Pour the creamy butterscotch steamer into your favorite mug, ready to enjoy.
- Garnish: Optionally, top the drink with whipped cream and drizzle butterscotch sauce or sprinkle additional butterscotch chips on top for a delightful presentation and extra flavor. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use medium-low heat to prevent milk from scorching or boiling over.
- Stir constantly when melting butterscotch chips for a smooth texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Adjust brown sugar to taste for desired sweetness level.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
