This comforting drink recipe from Lancaster County Coffee Roasters is inspired by café-quality lattes but simple enough to make at home. Whether you're starting your day or taking a mid-morning break, the Morning Miel Latte is your perfect companion.
Ingredients:
- 1 shot (2 ounces) of Lancaster County Coffee Roasters Breakfast Blend, brewed
- 1 tablespoon of honey, lightly heated
- 1/4 cup of milk or milk substitute (oat, almond, or whole milk work well)
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Brew Your Coffee
Begin by brewing a shot of Lancaster County Coffee Roasters Breakfast Blend. Its smooth, well-rounded flavor makes the perfect base for this latte. -
Warm the Honey
Gently heat the honey in the microwave (10-15 seconds) or on the stovetop until it becomes thin and easy to drizzle. -
Prepare the Milk
Heat your milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave until warm but not boiling. Use a frother, whisk, or blender to create a frothy, creamy texture. -
Combine the Coffee and Honey
Pour the brewed coffee into a mug and stir in the heated honey until well blended. The honey adds a natural sweetness that perfectly balances the coffee's robust flavor. -
Add Frothed Milk
Slowly pour the frothed milk over the coffee, letting it form a smooth, creamy layer on top. - Finish with Cinnamon
Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top for a warm, aromatic garnish.
Pro Tips:
- Boost the Flavor: Add a splash of vanilla extract to the milk for an extra layer of flavor.
- Make It Iced: For warm days, chill the brewed coffee and serve it over ice with cold-frothed milk.
- Vegan Version: Substitute honey with agave syrup and use a plant-based milk for a completely vegan latte.
