Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 shot espresso
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your espresso shot. If you have an espresso machine, follow the manufacturer's instructions to brew one shot of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop espresso maker or a strong coffee brewed using any method you prefer.
- While the espresso is brewing, gather your ingredients: 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a handful of ice cubes.
- Once the espresso is ready, let it cool for a minute or two. This will help to prevent the ice from melting too quickly when you combine the ingredients.
- In a glass, add the ice cubes. You can fill the glass to your desired level, but typically about halfway is a good amount.
- Pour the cooled espresso shot over the ice cubes in the glass.
- Next, take the almond milk and pour it into the glass with the espresso and ice. You can adjust the amount of almond milk to your taste, but 1 cup is a good starting point for a balanced flavor.
- Now, add 1 tablespoon of honey to the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter latte, feel free to adjust the amount of honey to your liking.
- Using a spoon, stir the mixture gently to combine the espresso, almond milk, and honey thoroughly. Make sure the honey is fully dissolved for an even sweetness throughout the drink.
- Your Iced Honey Almond Milk Latte is now ready to enjoy! You can garnish it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey on top if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing iced beverage!
Tips
- Espresso Alternatives: If you don’t have an espresso machine, don’t fret! You can achieve a similar flavor by using a strong brewed coffee. Just make sure to brew it with a higher coffee-to-water ratio for a bolder taste.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of honey according to your preference. If you like it sweeter, feel free to add more, or try using flavored syrups for a fun twist!
- Chill Your Glass: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before serving. This keeps your latte cooler for longer.
- Milk Alternatives: If you’re not a fan of almond milk, feel free to swap it out for your favorite milk alternative, such as oat milk or coconut milk, for a different flavor profile.
- Garnish for Flair: Don’t forget to add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey on top for a beautiful presentation and an extra touch of flavor!
