Savory coffee blend with caramelized onion, espresso, and milk delivers an adventurous twist for bold palates.
# Ingredients:
→ 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
# Directions:
01 - In a small skillet over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the thinly sliced onion, granulated sugar, and pinch of salt. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions reach a deeply golden caramelized stage, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Avoid increasing heat; slow cooking develops maximum flavor.
02 - Transfer caramelized onions and pan juices to a blender. Add 2 tablespoons of the milk and blend thoroughly until smooth. Press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve for a refined, silky texture.
03 - Brew 2 shots of espresso and split evenly between two cups. Incorporate 1 tablespoon of strained onion purée into each cup, stirring to achieve uniformity.
04 - Heat the remaining milk until steaming but not boiling. Use a milk frother or whisk to create a creamy, foamed texture suitable for a latte.
05 - Pour the frothed milk over the coffee-onion mixture in each cup. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup as desired. Stir gently and serve promptly.
