The Honey Cinnamon Latte is a simple yet profoundly satisfying flavored latte. The floral, earthy sweetness of honey provides a more complex flavor than plain sugar, and it pairs beautifully with the warm, aromatic spice of cinnamon. When combined with rich espresso and creamy steamed milk, it creates a cozy and nourishing drink that feels like a hug in a mug.
(to taste)
Add the honey and ground cinnamon to the bottom of your mug.
Brew the espresso shots directly into the mug over the honey and cinnamon.
Stir vigorously to ensure the honey is fully dissolved and the cinnamon is incorporated into the espresso.
Steam the milk to a silky microfoam texture.
Pour the steamed milk into the mug, and finish with a light dusting of cinnamon on top.
To infuse even more flavor, you can add a cinnamon stick to your milk while it steams (or heats on the stove) and remove it before pouring.
The type of honey you use (e.g., clover, orange blossom, wildflower) will subtly change the flavor profile of the drink.
Note: Ensure you stir the honey and espresso well, as honey can be thick and may not dissolve easily.
Add it to your favorites to easily find it again.
