Starbucks Hot Butterbeer Latte is a special drink for me because it is why I got the love of my life. I walked into a Starbucks café with no specific drink in mind. I wanted to explore new beverages. The gentleman who served me had a cute smile and was patient. He suggested Starbucks Hot Butterbeer Latte, and as I left, our eyes made contact, and my whole body felt tingly. I could not get him or the drink out of my mind. I went to get the drink for the next month without missing a day.

What’s in a Starbucks Hot Butterbeer Latte – (ingredients)

Ingredients

What is in Starbucks Butterbeer Latte? From experience ordering the drink, talking to Starbucks customers and baristas, and making the drink at home, the ingredients include whole milk steamer, caramel syrup, toffee nut syrup, cinnamon dolce syrup, a shot of coffee-which is optional, and salted caramel bits and whipped cream topping. Some customers prefer crème Brulee topping. The most crucial ingredients are as follows:

Milk – the Starbucks steamer whole milk is an excellent option for making this drink. The cow’s milk has only been pasteurized and homogenized to meet food safety standards. It contributes to tastes, and nutritional value, especially as a source of proteins.
Caramel syrup – is a sweetener that adds a caramel flavor to the drink. It is made from cooking sugar to produce the caramel taste and texture consistency.
Toffee nut syrup – sweetens the drink and adds a toasty flavor. It has an excellent buttery flavor, especially for hot drinks.
Cinnamon dolce syrup – you can get the exact syrup from Amazon and use it to make various copycat Starbucks drinks. It provides sweet brown sugar notes and a spicy cinnamon flavor.
Salted caramel – is buttery and sweet. You can make it at home by caramelizing sugar, adding butter, cream, and salt, and stirring it over medium heat for one minute.
Whipped cream – provides a smooth, creamy texture. You can make it at home by whipping heavy cream with a mixer or a whisk; until it is soft and fluffy.
A shot of Coffee – is optional when making this drink. You can use it only when you need coffee taste orincreased caffeine.
