Why I Like This Recipe

Didn’t think I’d love this one. Thought it’d be weird. But it’s actually kind of brilliant? Rich and mellow and just really calming to drink.

Ingredients

• ½ cup oat milk (barista style is best)
• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil (good quality)
• 3 oz hot espresso (about 2 shots)

How To Make Oleato Caffe Latte with Oat Milk

1. Froth the milk + oil: Add oat milk and olive oil to a frother or small pan. Heat gently and froth until creamy and warm (not boiling).
2. Pull the espresso: Make two shots of espresso and pour into your favorite mug.
3. Combine: Slowly pour the frothed oat-oil blend into the espresso. Stir gently. Done.

Tips for Success

• Don’t use light olive oil — go for full flavor.
• Oat milk should be unsweetened if you want to control sweetness.
• Use a frother if you’ve got one — it helps the oil blend better.
• Optional: cinnamon or vanilla for a cozy twist.

Storage and Reheating

• Fridge: Not ideal. Best made fresh.
• Reheat: If needed, warm it gently and re-froth before pouring. Don’t boil.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why olive oil in coffee though?
  It adds richness and body. Think of it like an alternative to butter in bulletproof coffee — but smoother and plant-based.
• Does it taste like olive oil?
  A little, depending on the brand. Use a light and fruity one — not peppery or intense.
• Can I sweeten it?
  Yep. A little maple syrup or honey works great if you want it sweeter.
• Can I use regular milk instead of oat?
  Sure. Oat’s just great for frothing and blends well with the olive oil flavor.
• Can I make it iced?
  You can. Froth the oat + oil mix cold (if you’ve got a cold frother), then pour over iced espresso.

Common Mistakes and How to Dodge Them

• Using low-quality olive oil: If it tastes bitter or sharp, your drink will too. Go for one you like the taste of straight — doesn’t have to be fancy, just not harsh.
• Boiling the oat milk: Boiling = curdling. No thanks. Keep the heat low and take it off as soon as it’s steamy.
• Skipping the frothing step: Frothing helps the oil blend in properly. If you skip it, you’ll get little oil puddles floating around. Not great.
• Using flavored oat milk: Flavored or sweetened milk can mess with the balance. Stick to plain unsweetened so the olive oil and espresso shine.
• Too much oil: More isn’t better here. Stick with 2 teaspoons. Any more and it starts to coat your mouth a little too much.
