Double espresso with honey and cinnamon
The combination of espresso, honey and cinnamon gives this coffee its distinctive character. While the espresso provides rich, intense aromas, the honey adds a gentle sweetness. Cinnamon complements the blend with its warm, spicy notes. Finally, steamed milk brings all the flavours together in a smooth and creamy coffee creation.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 double shot of espresso
- 180 ml milk
Preparation
- Prepare the cup
Drizzle a little honey around the inside rim of your cup. This adds a subtle touch of honey, both visually and in flavour. Alternatively, you can add the honey directly to the cup.
- Combine the honey and cinnamon
Add the ground cinnamon and stir it into the honey until evenly combined. This allows the flavours to blend beautifully with the espresso later on.
- Prepare the espresso
Extract a double shot of espresso and pour it into the prepared cup. If you have added the honey and cinnamon directly to the cup, stir everything thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the espresso.
- Steam the milk
Steam your milk until it reaches a smooth, velvety texture with fine microfoam. Using the steam wand of your espresso machine helps create a particularly silky finish, perfectly complementing the Honey Cinnamon Latte.
- Combine the espresso and milk
Slowly pour the steamed milk into the espresso. If desired, finish with a light dusting of cinnamon for an extra touch of warmth and flavour.
Our recommendation
For a well-balanced flavour, we recommend espresso beans with chocolatey or nutty notes. These flavours complement the natural sweetness of honey and the gentle spice of cinnamon. Pay attention to the texture of your milk, too. Fine, velvety microfoam gives your Honey Cinnamon Latte its signature creamy finish.
Enjoy preparing and savouring your Honey Cinnamon Latte!
