Instructions
 

Prepare the Espresso:

  • Add 1 shot of espresso (or strongly brewed coffee) to your mug.

Froth the Almond Milk:

  • Froth the almond milk using a frother or by heating it in a pan and whisking until foamy.
    A small saucepan on the white marble cooktop is heating almond milk, with a whisk briskly moving to create a light, frothy foam.

Combine and Garnish:

  • Pour the frothed almond milk over the espresso and honey mixture.

Tips for A Perfect Latte!

  1. Espresso or Brewed Coffee:
    • If you don’t have an espresso machine, use strongly brewed coffee from a French press or drip coffee maker. A dark roast will give you a richer flavor.
  2. Honey Sweetness:
    • Adjust the honey to taste. If you prefer less sweetness, start with 1 teaspoon and increase if needed. You can also try other natural sweeteners like maple syrup for a slightly different flavor.
  3. Frothing Almond Milk:
    • Use a barista-style almond milk for the best frothing results, as it’s formulated to create a creamier foam. If you don’t have a frother, you can shake the milk vigorously in a jar with a lid before warming it.
  4. Cinnamon Garnish:
    • A light sprinkle of ground cinnamon enhances the warm, nutty notes of the almond milk and honey. For an extra touch, try adding a cinnamon stick as a stirrer.
  5. Optional Add-ins:
    • Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg for additional layers of flavor.
