Notes

A Few Notes on Ingredients

  • Honey: Raw, unfiltered gives the most complex flavor. Wildflower, orange blossom, or buckwheat all work — each gives a different character. Adjust quantity to taste; 1 tbsp is a good start.
  • Milk: Whole milk for best froth and texture. Oat milk is the closest non-dairy option. Almond milk works but produces lighter foam.
  • Cinnamon: Mix it in with the honey before the espresso hits — this helps it bloom and integrate rather than float on top. If you love cinnamon in coffee, our Cinnamon Dolce Latte is worth bookmarking too.
  • Espresso: Medium roast works best. Very dark roasts can overpower the honey. If your espresso tastes bitter alone, the honey won't fix it — brush up on how espresso differs from regular coffee if you're still dialing things in.
