Things We Saw Today: How to Make a Butterbeer Latte

Is it still a latte if there’s no coffee? Is it implied that you should be pouring this one into a mug of coffee? …I don’t know anything about coffee. (That’s Nerdalicious!)

These are Wampa cupcakes. I don’t know what else to tell you. And before anybody says “Gross, coconut,” you shut your face. (Geeks are Sexy)

On an ever so slightly related note, the Avengers are still really cute when their costumes are swapped. (Heroic Fastfood Adventures)

Creepily realistic Doctor Who figurine is creepily realistic. (Toy News International)

Upcoming book Nursery Rhyme Comics features the talens of fifty different artists, including some of our favorites like Kate Beaton and Mike Mignola (whose Solomon Grundy follows). It’s also beautifully multicultural and countercultural. See more of it at Comics Alliance.

    As a barista I would say that no the butterbeer latte is not a latte. A latte is steamed milk and espresso with a small head of foam. Though lattes can be flavored, so if you were to pour this delicious sounding mixture over a few shots of espresso then yeah I would totally call it a traditional latte.

    The word latte has kind of been co-opted like the word martini. A martini is stirred gin and vermouth, and is served up in a chilled glass there is no vodka, flavored schnapps or anything else. Lately anything served up in a glass is called a martini. Coffee-wise, anything served mostly/half steamed milk is called a latte of some kind; Chai tea lattes, tea latte ( half steeped black/earl grey tea and half steamed milk), green tea lattes ect.

    Not to say any of the beverages are bad or inferior in any way, they are just not traditional.

    Surely the question should be: is it “butterbeer” if there’s no beer involved? :-)

    Actually you cook the butter into caramel, so it wouldn’t be much different than having a caramel milkshake.

    No, it would not. That is not enough sugar to soak up the butter. Normal caramel ratio is 1 part butter to 3 parts sugar.
