Honey Latte Recipe
Smooth, creamy, and naturally sweetened, this homemade honey latte is surprisingly simple to make and tastes every bit as good as your favorite coffee shop order. Serve it hot or iced — it's a great year-round staple!
Ingredients
- 4 fluid ounces espresso
- 4 teaspoons honey syrup
- 5 ¼ fluid ounces milk preferably whole milk, or oat milk for a dairy free variation
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- Brew your espresso directly into a 12 ounce mug and stir in the honey syrup.4 fluid ounces espresso |4 teaspoons honey syrup
- Warm and froth the milk and cream using your preferred method - a steam wand, freestanding frother, or handheld wand used with pre-warmed milk all work great.5 ¼ fluid ounces milk |1 tablespoon heavy cream
- Pour the warm milk mixture into the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then, scoop the foam on top.
- Give your latte a quick stir and enjoy!
Notes
Ingredient Notes:
- If needed, substitute espresso with strongly brewed coffee, or cold brew for an iced version.
- Heavy cream can be omitted, but will make your latte extra silky!
- For a latte with a more pronounced honey flavor, make your honey syrup using a 2:1 ratio of honey to water. This mixture will be sweeter, so adjust the quantity to taste. You can also substitute 2 teaspoons of plain honey for a hot latte.
To Make Without a Milk Frother:
- Warm your milk in the microwave or on the stove just until bubbles form on the surface. Then pour it into a mason jar, seal, and shake until a layer of froth forms.
To Make an Iced Honey Latte:
- Prepare the recipe as written, swapping the 12 ounce mug for a 16 ounce glass filled partway with ice. Omit steaming the milk and cream, but feel free to cold froth the mixture if desired.
