Blend caramelized onion, espresso, and frothy milk for a unique creamy beverage with a savory twist.
# Ingredient List:
→ Onion Base
01 - 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
02 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
03 - 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
04 - Pinch of salt
→ Latte Components
05 - 2 shots (2 ounces) freshly brewed espresso
06 - 1 1/4 cups whole milk or oat milk
07 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
# Steps:
01 - In a small skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the thinly sliced onion, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown and deeply caramelized, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
02 - Transfer the caramelized onions and pan juices to a blender. Add 2 tablespoons of milk, blending until completely smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to achieve a silky consistency.
03 - Extract 2 ounces of freshly brewed espresso and divide evenly between two serving cups.
04 - Add 1 tablespoon of strained onion puree to each cup and stir thoroughly to integrate.
05 - Heat the remaining milk until steaming but not boiling. Froth with a milk frother or whisk until creamy and foamy.
06 - Pour the frothed milk evenly over the espresso-onion mixture in both cups. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup as desired. Mix gently and serve immediately.
