Savory caramelized onion blends with espresso and frothy milk, creating an unexpected, creamy coffee experience.
# What you need:
→ 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 to follow:
01 - In a small skillet over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the sliced onion, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
02 - Transfer the caramelized onions and pan juices to a blender. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and blend until absolutely smooth. Pass through a fine-mesh sieve for a silky texture.
03 - Brew two shots of espresso and divide evenly between two cups. Stir in 1 tablespoon of strained onion purée per cup until well combined.
04 - Warm the remaining milk until steaming. Froth using a milk frother or vigorous whisking until creamy and foamy.
05 - Pour frothed milk over the espresso-onion mixture in each cup. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup to taste if desired. Gently stir and serve promptly.
