The honey cinnamon latte swaps refined syrup for honey, giving the drink a floral sweetness that pairs beautifully with warm cinnamon. It's a gentler, more natural-feeling latte — less candy-sweet than a flavored syrup latte, with a cozy spice finish.
Ingredients
- 2 shots of espresso
- 1–1.5 tbsp honey
- A pinch of cinnamon, plus extra for topping
- 8 oz whole milk (oat milk also works well with honey)
Step-by-step
- Add the honey and a pinch of cinnamon to a 12 oz cup.
- Pull two shots of espresso over the honey and stir until fully dissolved.
- Steam the milk to glossy microfoam.
- Pour the milk into the cup, blending with the honey-espresso base.
- Dust the foam with a little extra cinnamon and finish with a thin drizzle of honey if you like.
Tips for the best cup
- Use a mild, floral honey (like clover or wildflower) so it doesn't overpower the espresso.
- Honey dissolves best in the hot espresso — add it before the milk.
- Oat milk's natural sweetness complements honey especially well.
Key takeaways
- A honey cinnamon latte uses honey instead of flavored syrup.
- Dissolve the honey in the hot espresso first.
- A pinch of cinnamon in the base and on top ties it together.
