Ingredients you need
Whole Milk: Whole milk is great for hot lattes. It has the right consistency for foaming and a lovely flavor when warm. However, if you need lactose-free or dairy-free milk, both are great substitutes.
Honey: Honey is so much more than just a sweetener. This awesome syrup has delectable floral notes that come alive in this luscious latte! Use your favorite local honey to support your community’s bees, flora, and fauna.
Cinnamon Syrup: This ingredient brings a hint of sweetness while delivering a full spicy cinnamon kick. If you love scratch-made like I do, then try my easy Homemade Cinnamon Syrup Recipe! You can also use store-bought cinnamon syrup in this recipe.
Espresso Shots: Espresso is a delightfully concentrated form of coffee with a caffeinated kick! For this recipe, use your favorite blend of espresso beans. You can also use your favorite at-home brewing method. If you do not have the equipment to make espresso at home, brew an extra strong batch of coffee for this drink.
Cinnamon: The best way to add some style to this cup is with cinnamon. Use ground cinnamon and a stencil to make an irresistibly elegant garnish for the top of this latte.
Cinnamon Honey Latte Step-by-step

Barista Tips
- I love combining warm milk and honey before frothing to create delicious, frothed honey milk. This gives the drink a smooth honey flavor, and you don’t have to worry that the honey will sink to the bottom of the drink.
- If you want to enjoy this delicious drink without the dairy, remember to choose barista-quality non-dairy milk. The barista rendition of this ingredient is enriched with extra vegetable fat, so it will steam and froth beautifully. Look for this type of dairy alternative in the baking aisle with all the shelf-stable non-dairy milk options.
Variations
Make this luscious latte nice and light by trading whole milk for skim or low-fat plant-based milk. Just remember that skim milk is harder to froth, so you may not get the foamy head you want but the flavor is still spot on!
If you want to enjoy this creamy coffee before bed, swap the espresso for a decaf espresso bean blend. This makes for a smooth and caffeine-free delight!
What are the benefits of Cinnamon and Honey?
Cinnamon and honey are both natural ingredients that have been used for centuries for their various health benefits.
Cinnamon is known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which can help to boost the immune system and fight off infections. It may also help to regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, making it beneficial for individuals with diabetes or metabolic conditions.
Honey, on the other hand, is a natural sweetener that is rich in antioxidants and can help to soothe coughs and sore throats. It also has antibacterial properties and can promote wound healing.
When combined, cinnamon and honey can create a powerful combination that may have additional benefits, such as aiding in weight loss and improving digestion.
However, it is important to note that while these ingredients can offer potential health benefits, they should be consumed in moderation and as part of a balanced diet.
Products

- Stencil: A stencil allows you to add some flair to your cinnamon garnish. Choose a leaf, heart, letter, or star stencil to make a classic-looking cinnamon latte.
