Ingredients
For the Coffee Base
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, chilled
For the Honey Cinnamon Milk
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond or oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus a pinch for garnish)
Others
- Ice cubes
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Honey Cinnamon Milk: In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, and ground cinnamon thoroughly until the honey dissolves completely and the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill the drink properly. Pour the chilled strong brewed coffee or espresso over the ice.
- Combine Layers: Slowly pour the prepared honey cinnamon milk into the glass with coffee, allowing the layers to merge naturally for a beautiful visual effect and balanced flavor blending.
- Optional Garnish: For added indulgence, top the latte with whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top to enhance aroma and taste.
- Serve: Gently stir the latte to combine all the flavors before sipping and enjoying this refreshing and spiced iced beverage.
Notes
- Use your preferred type of milk, including dairy or plant-based options like almond or oat milk.
- Adjust the amount of honey to suit your desired sweetness level.
- The coffee should be strong and chilled to maintain the iced latte’s rich flavor and cold temperature.
- For a vegan version, opt for non-dairy milk and skip the whipped cream or use a plant-based alternative.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
- The cinnamon garnish adds a lovely aroma but can be omitted if preferred.
