Why I Love This Oatmilk Honey Latte

I absolutely adore this Oatmilk Honey Latte because it feels indulgent yet so simple to make. There’s something magical about whisking the oat milk until it froths just right, creating that café-like texture at home. Plus, the sweetness of honey gives it a unique twist compared to your usual sugar or flavored syrups. It’s become my go-to drink for those cozy mornings or even during a little afternoon break with a good book. It just feels good to know I can enjoy a café experience without stepping out!

Ingredients

1 cup oat milk,
1 shot espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee,
1-2 tablespoons honey,
Optional: cinnamon or vanilla extract for flavor

How to Make Oatmilk Honey Latte

Step 1: Brew Your Coffee

Start by brewing a shot of espresso or preparing 1/2 cup of strong coffee. The stronger the coffee, the better it will balance with the oat milk!

Step 2: Heat the Oat Milk

In a small saucepan, pour in the oat milk. Heat it over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling. You want it to steam, not scald!

Step 3: Froth the Oat Milk

Once warm, use a whisk or milk frother to whisk the oat milk vigorously. You’re aiming for that light, creamy texture with a good froth on top.

Step 4: Mix Coffee and Honey

In your favorite mug, combine the freshly brewed coffee with honey. Stir well until the honey has completely dissolved into the coffee.

Step 5: Combine the Elements

Pour the frothed oat milk over the coffee mixture, creating those lovely layered colors.

Step 6: Add Flavor (Optional)

For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle a little cinnamon or add a dash of vanilla extract on top. This step is totally optional, but it really amps up the cozy vibes!

Step 7: Serve Immediately

Enjoy your Oatmilk Honey Latte right away while it’s warm and frothy!
