To make a Hot Buttered Rum Mocktail Latte, gather these simple ingredients: - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice) - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened - 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or to taste) - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg - 1/2 cup brewed strong coffee (or decaf if preferred) - Whipped cream (for topping) - Extra cinnamon and nutmeg (for garnish) These ingredients work together to create a creamy and rich drink. Unsweetened almond milk keeps it light, while butter adds a wonderful richness. Brown sugar gives the drink sweetness, and vanilla extract brings warmth. Ground cinnamon and nutmeg add spice and depth. If you want to adjust the flavor, you can swap almond milk for oat or soy milk. The butter provides a smooth texture, but you can use coconut oil as a dairy-free option. This drink is perfect for cold days. The strong coffee wakes you up, while the creamy mixture makes it feel like a treat. The whipped cream on top adds even more indulgence. Start by pouring 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into a small saucepan. Heat it over medium heat. Keep an eye on it until it steams, but do not let it boil. This should take about three to four minutes. The warm milk makes the drink cozy and creamy. While the almond milk heats up, grab a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Next, sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Use a fork or whisk to blend it all together. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will add richness to your drink. Once your almond milk is hot, remove it from the heat. Carefully whisk in the butter mixture. Make sure to stir well until everything is fully combined. This will create a frothy, buttery milk that is the heart of your latte. Now, brew 1/2 cup of strong coffee in your favorite way. You can use a coffee maker, French press, or any method you prefer. If you want a caffeine-free option, use decaf coffee instead. The strong coffee balances the sweetness of the milk. In a heat-resistant mug, pour in the brewed coffee. Then, carefully add the buttery almond milk blend. Stir it well to mix everything together. You should see a lovely swirl of colors, and the drink will smell amazing. To finish, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. Then, sprinkle some extra cinnamon and nutmeg for a beautiful touch. This not only looks nice but also adds more flavor. Your Hot Buttered Rum Mocktail Latte is now ready to enjoy! You can control how sweet your drink is. Start with two tablespoons of brown sugar. Taste it after mixing. If you want it sweeter, add more sugar, one teaspoon at a time. This way, you get your perfect level of sweetness. To make sure your drink is creamy, use softened butter. Blend the butter with the sugar and spices until smooth. When you add this to the warm almond milk, it will mix well. If the milk is too hot, it might curdle. Keep it steaming, not boiling. Unsweetened almond milk works great, but you can use other milks too. Coconut milk adds a tropical twist. Oat milk is thicker and creamier. Use your favorite milk to make this drink perfect for you. Use strong brewed coffee for the best flavor. Dark roasts give a bold taste that pairs well with butter and spices. If you prefer decaf, that works too! The coffee adds depth to your mocktail latte. {{image_2}} You can easily make this drink dairy-free. Use any plant-based milk you like. Almond milk works well, but oat milk or coconut milk are great choices too. These options give a creamy texture without dairy. The flavor stays rich and tasty, just like the original. Want to spice things up? Add chocolate or caramel for a sweet twist. A scoop of chocolate syrup blends well with the buttery mix. You can also swirl in some caramel sauce for a sticky, sweet finish. Both choices add a new layer of flavor that makes the drink even more indulgent. Change it up with seasonal flavors! In fall, try pumpkin spice. Just add a teaspoon of pumpkin puree and a dash of pumpkin spice. For winter, peppermint is a fun choice. Mix in a few drops of peppermint extract for a refreshing kick. These variations make the drink perfect for any time of year. To store any leftovers, pour the drink into a clean jar. Seal it tightly and keep it in the fridge. This drink tastes best fresh, but you can store it for up to two days. When you want to enjoy your drink again, pour it into a saucepan. Heat it gently on low until warm. Stir well to mix everything again. Avoid boiling it, as this can change the texture. - Unsweetened almond milk: Check the date on the carton. Typically, it lasts about 7-10 days after opening. - Unsalted butter: It can stay fresh in the fridge for about a month. - Brown sugar: Store it in a cool, dry place. It lasts for months if kept sealed. - Vanilla extract: This can last indefinitely if stored in a cool, dark place. - Ground spices (cinnamon and nutmeg): They stay fresh for about 6 months if stored correctly. - Brewed coffee: Best used fresh, but can last in the fridge for up to 3 days.
