Brew 2 shots of espresso and set them aside. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use strong brewed coffee as a substitute.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until it’s steaming but not boiling. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
Once heated, whisk the milk vigorously or use a milk frother to create a light, frothy texture.
In a serving mug, combine the espresso, butterscotch sauce, and almond extract. Stir well until the butterscotch sauce is fully dissolved.
Pour the steamed milk into the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once most of the milk is poured, spoon the foam on top of the latte.
Top with dollops of whipped cream, a sprinkle of sliced almonds, and a drizzle of butterscotch sauce for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Almond Butterscotch Latte while warm!
