Ingredients:
- 1 cup oat milk
- 1-2 shots of espresso (or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)
- 1-2 tablespoons honey (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Ground cinnamon for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Brew the Coffee: Prepare your espresso or brew a strong cup of coffee. Set it aside.
- Heat the Oat Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the oat milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. Alternatively, you can heat the oat milk in a microwave-safe container in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add Honey and Vanilla: Stir the honey and vanilla extract (if using) into the warm oat milk until fully dissolved.
- Froth the Milk: If you have a milk frother, use it to froth the oat milk until it’s light and foamy. If you don’t have a frother, you can whisk the milk vigorously by hand or blend it in a blender for a few seconds.
- Assemble the Latte: Pour the espresso or coffee into a mug. Slowly add the frothed oat milk, holding back the foam with a spoon, and then spoon the foam on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with ground cinnamon if desired. Serve your Oatmilk Honey Latte immediately and enjoy the comforting blend of flavors!
