Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1-2 teaspoons honey
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
- 2 shots espresso
- Lots of ice
- Milk of choice (e.g., dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
- Optional pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Add honey and sea salt: Start by adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey and a pinch of flaky sea salt into a glass to create a sweet and savory base for your latte.
- Pour hot espresso: Brew 2 shots of espresso and pour the hot espresso directly over the honey and sea salt in the glass, allowing the honey to begin melting and blending with the espresso.
- Whip the mixture: Using a handheld frother, whisk the espresso, honey, and salt mixture until it becomes light, creamy, and frothy, creating a luscious whipped espresso topping.
- Add ice: Fill the glass generously with lots of ice to chill the mixture thoroughly and prepare it as an iced latte.
- Pour milk: Pour your milk of choice over the ice and whipped espresso; this adds creaminess and dilutes the intensity to taste.
- Optional cinnamon: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for an aromatic and warming flavor touch.
- Stir and serve: Stir gently to combine all elements before enjoying your refreshing whipped espresso honey latte.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed espresso shots for the best flavor and frothiness.
- Adjust honey quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
- The flaky sea salt enhances and balances the sweetness and bitterness in the drink.
- Pick any milk alternative to suit your dietary preferences, such as almond, soy, oat, or dairy milk.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and ensure the honey is suitable for your diet (or substitute with agave or maple syrup).
- The whipped espresso topping is best served immediately to maintain its frothy texture.
