Pro Tips
- Brown the butter slowly over medium heat until it smells nutty and has golden brown specks
- Use fresh sage leaves - dried sage won't give the same aromatic result
- Grind your coffee just before brewing for the best flavor
- Water temperature should be 175°F (80°C) to prevent burning the brown butter
