Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 shots (30–60 ml) freshly brewed espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 8 ounces (240 ml) almond milk, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey (raw, local preferred)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Brew 1 to 2 shots (30-60 ml) of espresso or strong coffee and pour into a cappuccino cup.
- Warm 8 ounces (240 ml) of almond milk using a microwave-safe jug or stovetop saucepan to about 150°F (65°C), warm but not boiling.
- Stir 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey into the warm almond milk before frothing.
- Froth the almond milk using a handheld frother, whisk vigorously by hand, or shake in a sealed jar for about 30 seconds until frothy.
- Slowly pour the frothed almond milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top.
- Optionally, dust with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg or add a drop of vanilla extract for extra warmth.
Notes
Use barista-style almond milk for better frothing and creaminess. Warm milk gently to preserve sweetness and texture. Stir honey into warm milk, not espresso, to avoid clumping. Freshly brewed espresso and immediate frothing yield best results. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
