One of the things that I have missed the most over the past year is being able to go sit at coffee shops for long periods of time. My job involves a LOT of computer time and sometimes it’s only genuinely nice to get out of the house and enjoy a cup of coffee (or 3) while I’m working.

My GO TO drink lately has been an oat milk latte with either honey in it OR hazelnut syrup. Both DEEPLY GOOD and I miss getting them on a regular basis.

Since getting a Bialetti Espresso Maker, I’ve been making lattes at home a lot more and it certainly satisfies the craving! Plus Worth keeping that I have a lot more control over the sweetness levels etc!

While A regular here experimenting with all kinds of different flavors, this Honey Latte has been my regular at home latte lately!

If you’re interested in some other flavors, though, I have a whole post all about making different flavors of simple syrup (the lavender is a go-to of mine!). I certainly recommend checking that out for ideas (and bonus: the syrups are also great for cocktails!).

Ingredients in this latte:

Milk– any milk works here so use your regular. I’ve been on a HUGE Oat milk latte kick lately so that is almost always what I use. In fact, I have a whole post coming out in the next couple of weeks that reviews several different types of vegan creamers including which one froths the dependable!
Honey– I know that a lot of you are vegan so feel free to use maple syrup instead.
Coffee– you want STRONG coffee here. Remember, we’re going to be mixing this with a lot of milk so the coffee needs to be pretty strong to balance out nicely in this latte.
Cinnamon– I like simply a little sprinkle but you could also omit this as desired.
Vanilla– entirely optional but highly recommended!

Making this latte is TRULY simple and there are 2 ways that you can do it. First you need to heat up all of the ingredients minus the coffee. You can either do this in a small saucepan or simply add them to a microwavable mug and heat them in the microwave until steaming hot.

To froth the milk, I suggest using a simple milk frother like THIS or even THIS. I’ve had that wand frother for years now and use it DAILY. It works great especially for less than $20!

Pour your hot coffee into a clean mug of choice and then gently pour over the milk mixture and then the froth.
