Ingredients in Oatmilk Honey Latte
This is all you need to make the most comforting and flavorful latte:
- Oat Milk: The base of this latte, providing a smooth and creamy texture. Oat milk is naturally sweet and works beautifully with espresso.
- Espresso: The bold coffee flavor that forms the backbone of your latte. If you don’t have an espresso machine, strong brewed coffee works just fine!
- Honey: Adds a natural sweetness that complements the oat milk and espresso. You can adjust the amount to your taste!
- Cinnamon (optional): For a warm, spiced kick that adds a little extra depth of flavor.

Instructions
Here’s how to make your cozy Oatmilk Honey Latte:
Brew the Espresso: Start by brewing a shot (or two) of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, make strong brewed coffee instead. Set it aside to keep warm.
Heat the Oat Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the oat milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to make sure it doesn’t burn. You want the milk to be hot but not boiling. If you have a milk frother, use it to froth the milk for a creamy, velvety texture.
Add Honey: Once the oat milk is heated, stir in your desired amount of honey. Keep stirring until the honey is fully dissolved into the milk. You can adjust the amount of honey to your taste—more for a sweeter latte, less for a more balanced flavor.
Combine the Espresso and Oat Milk: Pour the brewed espresso into a mug, then slowly pour the sweetened oat milk over it. If you frothed the milk, you can spoon the foam on top for that perfect latte look!
Optional Cinnamon: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top of the latte for that extra touch of warmth and spice.
Serve and Enjoy: Sip slowly, and enjoy the smooth, creamy goodness of your Oatmilk Honey Latte.

Additional Tips
