Ingredients

1 shot espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee)

1 cup milk (any milk – dairy or plant-based)

1 ½ tsp honey (adjust to taste)

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

A pinch of cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Brew coffee.

If you got an espresso machine, flex it.

If not, brew strong coffee.

French press = bold.

AeroPress = smooth.

Instant coffee? Meh. But hey, sometimes survival mode.

Step 2: Heat the milk.

Small saucepan. Medium heat.

Don’t boil it, unless you like “burnt campfire milk” vibes.

Step 3: Add flavors.

While the milk warms, stir in honey, cinnamon, vanilla.

Whisk it or froth it.

Got no frother? Shake it in a jar like you’re bartending.

Step 4: Combine.

Espresso in the mug first.

Pour the honey-cinnamon milk slowly over.

Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon because presentation matters even if it’s just for you.

Step 5: Drink.

First sip = life restored.

Shoulders drop.

The brain starts working again.

Notes

Tips to Nail a Cinnamon Latte

Freshly brewed coffee always. Old coffee = dead flavor.
Don’t boil the milk. Trust me.
Use good honey. Real honey makes a huge difference.
Play with sweetness. Some want a subtle, others wish for a liquid dessert.
Add cinnamon on top for aroma and looks.
