Butterbeer Latte Review
We made our butterbeer latte with butterscotch syrup and caramel syrup, since we couldn’t find English toffee syrup. Besides, butterbeer is clearly a butterscotch flavor.
After making it per the instructions (with the butterscotch exception), we found that it didn’t have much butterbeer flavor, unless you got a little bit of the whipped cream mixed in with it. In fact, as Hunter said after she tasted it, “That tastes kind of weird.”

Hunter suggested mixing the whipped cream in with the butterbeer latte mixture, prior to topping it with whipped cream. This made a WORLD of difference! Next time, I might even try whole fat, heavy whipping cream instead of milk in the recipe.
Give the recipe a try and let us know, what do you think of the Butterbeer Latte?
