  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 4 ounces espresso or bold coffee
  • 2 ounces whole milk (steamed)
  • Ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Add honey: Place one tablespoon of honey into a mug or double-walled glass to create the sweet base of the drink.
  2. Pour coffee: Add 4 ounces of freshly brewed espresso or bold coffee into the mug and stir well to dissolve the honey evenly.
  3. Steam milk: Steam 2 ounces of whole milk until it reaches 165°F, creating a smooth and creamy texture suitable for pouring.
  4. Combine and top: Pour the steamed milk into the coffee and honey mixture, then generously sprinkle ground cinnamon on top to add fragrant warmth and flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the honey amount to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet coffee.
  • Use whole milk for a creamier texture, or substitute with any milk alternative if desired.
  • For a stronger coffee taste, use espresso; for milder, opt for a bold brewed coffee.
  • Ensure the milk is steamed to the right temperature to avoid scalding and to bring out its natural sweetness.
  • Ground cinnamon can be replaced with cinnamon stick or a pinch of nutmeg for variation.
