Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 1 shot Freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 4 pieces Ice cubes (optional for iced version)
Instructions
Begin by brewing a shot of espresso or using strong coffee. If you don't have an espresso machine, simply use a concentrated 1/2 cup serving of your preferred coffee.
While the coffee is brewing, heat the skim milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
If you prefer a frothy latte, use a milk frother or whisk to create foam from the heated milk. Simply froth until there is about half foam and half liquid milk.
In a cup or mug, add the honey and vanilla extract. Pour the brewed espresso or coffee over these and stir well to blend the flavors.
Slowly add the hot milk to the coffee mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon. Stir lightly.
Gently spoon the foam over the top of the latte, creating a smooth layer.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the foam for garnish and extra flavor.
For an iced version, allow the coffee to cool slightly and then pour it over a full glass of ice cubes before adding the milk and honey mixture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat Honey Latte!
