Equipment

  • coffee maker
  • Milk frother
  • Mixing bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Freezer
  • Serving Mug

Ingredients
  

Coffee Base

  • 2 shots espresso fresh brewed
  • 1 cup whole milk or oat milk
  • 1.5 tablespoons black honey smoky or dark honey preferred
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 0.25 teaspoon sea salt balances sweetness

Toppings

  • 0.25 cup whipped cream optional topping
  • 1 teaspoon honey drizzle for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Brew espresso until dark and aromatic. Let it rest briefly while preparing the creamy honey mixture.
  • Warm milk gently in a saucepan. Whisk in black honey vanilla and sea salt until smooth and frothy.
  • Pour espresso evenly into mugs. Add the honey milk slowly for silky texture and balanced flavor.
  • Top with whipped cream and extra honey drizzle if desired. Serve immediately while creamy and warm.
  • For iced coffee freeze leftover espresso into cubes first. Pour chilled honey milk over cubes before serving.

Notes

Use extra frothing for softer creamy texture or reduce milk slightly for bolder coffee flavor. Freeze espresso cubes separately to prevent watery iced drinks later. Stir gently during assembly for smooth layering. Customize flavor with cinnamon or caramel syrup. Store leftover honey milk refrigerated for two days and whisk before serving.
