WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- 1 shot of espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or more, to taste)
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Easy Instructions for Making a Delicious Honey Almond Latte
STEP 1: Prepare the Base.
Brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method, or substitute with a strong coffee made in a French Press or Moka Pot.
STEP 2: Add the Honey.
Place the honey in your mug. Pour the hot espresso over the honey and stir until it’s fully dissolved.
STEP 3: Steam the Almond Milk.
Heat almond milk on the stovetop or in the microwave until warm (but not boiling). Froth it using a handheld frother or whisk until creamy and foamy.
STEP 4: Combine and Stir.
Pour the steamed almond milk over the honey-coffee mixture. Stir gently to combine.
STEP 5: Garnish and Serve.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for added warmth and aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Why You’ll Love It
The honey almond latte is a perfect balance of natural sweetness and nutty creaminess. The honey adds a gentle, floral sweetness that pairs beautifully with the smooth almond milk and bold coffee. It’s a lighter, healthier option that feels indulgent without being overly rich.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Honey Almond Latte
- Warm the Honey: Slightly warming the honey makes it easier to dissolve in the espresso.
- Try Local Honey: Use locally sourced honey for a fresher, more aromatic flavor that complements the almond milk.
- Experiment with Frothing: Almond milk froths best when it’s warmed but not boiled. For extra creaminess, use barista-style almond milk.
- Make It Iced: For a summer twist, dissolve the honey in hot espresso, chill it, and serve over ice with cold almond milk.
Lightly sweet and nutty, the honey almond latte is a delightful coffee drink that combines smooth espresso, creamy almond milk, and the natural sweetness of honey. Perfect for a cozy morning or as a midday treat, this latte is as comforting as it is simple to make.
