Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oat milk - Oat milk is the star of this dish providing a creamy and slightly sweet base that complements the espresso. Its consistency is perfect for frothing, making it ideal for lattes.
  • 1 shot espresso or 1/2 cup strong coffee - The espresso gives the drink its robust flavor, serving as a perfect counterbalance to the sweetness of honey and the creaminess of oat milk. If espresso is unavailable, strong brewed coffee works as an excellent substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon honey - Honey serves as a natural sweetener adding a distinctive floral note to the beverage. Its health benefits, including antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, make it a great choice over refined sugars.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - This ingredient adds depth to the flavor profile creating a warming sensation that pairs beautifully with both the oat milk and honey.
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish optional - Cinnamon can enhance the drink's flavor and add a touch of warmth and coziness, making this latte perfect for chilly days.

Method
 

  1. Heat the oat milk: In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of oat milk over medium heat until it is hot, but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
  2. Brew the espresso or coffee: While the oat milk is heating, brew your espresso (1 shot) or prepare 1/2 cup of strong coffee. If using a coffee maker, use a darker roast for a bolder flavor.
  3. Mix the ingredients: In a large mug, combine the heated oat milk, brewed espresso (or coffee), 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Froth the oat milk (optional): For an even creamier texture, use a milk frother to whip the oat milk before mixing it with the other ingredients. This step will add air to the milk, creating a light, frothy effect.
  5. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top of your latte for added flavor and a beautiful presentation.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Your Creamy Honey Oatmilk Latte is now ready to enjoy! Savor every sip and let the cozy flavors wrap around you like a warm hug.
