Why I Like This Recipe

I wasn’t trying to be fancy, just wanted something better than plain coffee. Threw this together with oat milk and honey I already had, and yeah — it kinda slaps. No syrup, no drama. Just warm and good. I’ve had it like four times this week.

Ingredients

• 1–2 tbsp honey (depends how sweet you want it)
• 2 tbsp hot water
• ¾ cup extra creamy oat milk
• 1–2 espresso shots (depends how tired you are)
• ⅛ tsp cinnamon, plus extra for topping

How To Make Oatmilk Honey Latte

• Froth the milk: Warm oat milk and froth it however you can — frother, blender, shaking in a jar, whatever works.
• Mix honey base: In your mug, stir the honey with hot water. Just enough to dissolve it.
• Build the drink: Pour in the frothed milk. Add your espresso shot(s). Give it a stir. Sprinkle cinnamon on top if you’re feeling it.

Tips for Success

• Use extra creamy oat milk — makes a big difference.
• If your honey’s thick, microwave it for a few seconds first.
• No espresso machine? Strong brewed coffee works.
• Don’t skip the cinnamon. That tiny bit on top = the whole vibe.

Storage and Reheating

• Honestly? Just make it fresh. It takes five minutes. But…
• Fridge tip: If you must save it, mix everything but the milk and froth that part fresh later.
• Microwave fix: Reheat gently and re-froth if you can. Or just stir it back to life.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use almond milk instead of oat?
  Yeah, but oat gives a better creamy texture. Almond can be kinda watery.
• What if I don’t have a frother?
  Shake milk in a jar, blend it, or whisk it on the stove. Doesn’t need to be perfect.
• Is it sweet?
  You control it. One tablespoon honey is chill. Two is sweet sweet.
• Can I make it iced?
  Totally. Skip the frothing, just dissolve the honey in warm water, pour everything over ice.
• Do I need cinnamon?
  Technically no. But yes.

Common Mistakes and How to Dodge Them

• Using cold honey: Cold honey doesn’t mix. Warm it up a few seconds or stir with hot water first.
• Skipping the froth: You’ll miss the texture. Even a little foam helps. Blend it, shake it — whatever.
• Adding espresso before milk: Kinda kills the layering. Pour espresso in last so it blends in smoother.
• Not tasting as you go: Start with less honey, add more if needed. Easy to fix sweet, not so easy to un-sweet.
• Using regular oat milk: If it’s too thin, the drink feels flat. Look for “barista” or “extra creamy” on the label.
