  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 4 ounces espresso or bold coffee
  • 2 ounces whole milk (steamed to 165°F)
  • Ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Add honey: Pour 1 tablespoon of honey into a mug or a double-walled glass to create the base sweetness for the coffee.
  2. Add coffee: Brew 4 ounces of strong espresso or bold coffee and pour it into the mug with the honey, stirring well to dissolve and combine the flavors.
  3. Steam milk: Heat 2 ounces of whole milk until it reaches 165°F, creating a creamy texture, then carefully pour the steamed milk into the coffee mixture.
  4. Garnish: Generously sprinkle ground cinnamon on top to add warm aromatic notes and complete this traditional Spanish coffee experience.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso or a strong bold coffee for the best flavor.
  • Steaming milk to 165°F ensures a creamy texture without scalding.
  • The ground cinnamon topping not only adds flavor but also aroma that enhances the experience.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed immediately while hot.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk and steam accordingly.
