Iced Honey Latte (Step-by-Step Recipe)
This recipe is quick, easy, and perfect for those days when you want a little sweet treat. So, here’s how to make an iced honey latte:
Equipment
- Espresso machine, Moka pot, or Aeropress (whatever you use for strong coffee)
- Spoon for stirring
- Tall glass or mason jar
- Optional: a milk frother if you like it extra creamy on top
Ingredients
- Fresh brewed espresso (or strong coffee)
- Honey – raw or regular, your call
- Milk of choice – dairy, almond, oat, etc.
- Ice cubes
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon, a drop of vanilla extract, or a sprinkle of sea salt for depth
Instructions
- Step 1) Brew Your Espresso or Coffee: Brew 1–2 shots of espresso or about ½ cup of strong coffee. You want it concentrated enough to stand up to the milk and ice. Next, let it cool a bit if it’s too hot, it'll melt the ice and water everything down.
- Step 2) Mix in the Honey: Add 1–2 teaspoons of honey while the espresso is still warm. It dissolves much better this way and blends evenly. Afterward, stir well until it’s completely mixed.
- Step 3) Add Ice and Milk: Fill your glass about ¾ of the way with ice. Pour in the honey-sweetened coffee, then top with your favorite milk. Give it a slow swirl to mix. It should look like one of those coffee reels people watch on repeat.
