Description
A cozy, savory onion latte that blends gently simmered onions with creamy milk for a smooth, comforting drink that feels like a warm hug in a mug.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions
- Add the chopped onion and water to a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes until the onion is very soft and fragrant.
