Calories: 275.2kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup brown sugar slightly packed
- 3 TBS water
- 1-2 TBS high-quality vegan butter such as Miyokos (more butter will make it richer)
- ½ cup nondairy milk such as almond or coconut, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- ½ TBS lemon juice
- 1.5 oz 1 shot vodka, optional
- Cream soda optional
Instructions
- In a small pot over medium heat, combine brown sugar and 3 TBS water. Stir until sugar starts to melt, 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in vegan butter, half (¼ cup) of the milk, vanilla extract, salt, and lemon juice. Remove from heat once butter melts and mixture is slightly thickened.
- For a foamier final beverage, whip the remaining ¼ cup milk in a mixer or frother with half of the butterscotch mixture. If you do not feel like doing this, feel free to add the remaining ¼ cup milk right into the pot.
- Carefully (it's still hot!), pour the butterscotch mixture into a large mug. If desired, top with a shot of vodka or a splash of cream soda (for fizz).
