Buttery Brown Sugar Latte

1. **Prepare the Brown Sugar Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and continue to simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
2. Remove the syrup from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste and 1/4 teaspoon salt until fully dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool completely before bottling and refrigerating. 
3. **Prepare the Latte:** In your serving cup, combine 1 teaspoon butter and 1.5 tablespoons of the prepared brown sugar syrup. 
4. Brew 2 shots of espresso directly into the cup with the butter and syrup to help melt the butter. 
5. Froth the espresso, butter, and syrup mixture together until it is nice and foamy. 
6. Fill a glass with fresh ice. Pour in about 1/2 cup of your milk of choice. 
7. Gently pour the frothed espresso mixture over the milk and ice. Stir gently if desired, and enjoy your buttery brown sugar latte!
