Instructions:
1. Begin by placing 2 teaspoons of honey into a glass bowl.
2. Add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl.
3. Heat the mixture in a microwave for 5 seconds and stir well to combine.
4. Drizzle the warm honey-vanilla mixture along the sides of your coffee cup evenly.
5. Pull two shots of espresso from your machine, ensuring you clean the machine beforehand.
6. Slowly pour the espresso shots directly into the center of the honeyed cup.
7. Now it's time to steam your milk. Fill the steaming pitcher and insert a teaspoon, if you prefer reduced noise during frothing.
8. Froth the milk until it is smooth and creamy, frequently stirring with the teaspoon to break up any large bubbles.
9. Once the milk is frothed to your liking, tap the pitcher gently to eliminate any remaining large bubbles.
10. Carefully pour the steamed milk into the center of your espresso, allowing it to mix with the sweetened base and create a creamy blend.
11. Take a clean teaspoon and give the latte a gentle stir to incorporate all the flavors together.
12. For a touch of seasonal spice, feel free to garnish your Honey Vanilla Latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.
13. Savor your handcrafted Honey Vanilla Latte and enjoy the comforting flavors of fall.
Cooking Tips:
- For a richer flavor, consider using full-fat milk to steam and froth.
- If you do not have an espresso machine, a strong brewed coffee from a Moka pot or even a French press can be a suitable alternative, though the taste may be slightly different.
