Notes
Warm the mug: A warm cup helps the honey dissolve smoothly and keeps the drink warm for longer.
Pull fresh espresso: A fresh shot keeps the flavor bright and full. If you don't have an espresso machine, use 4 ounces of strong hot coffee instead. A pour-over coffee maker or French press would be ideal for this.
Mind milk temperature: Stop steaming around 165°F for perfect sweet foam without scald. Don't let it boil. If you don't have a coffee maker, just use a small saucepan on the stove to warm your milk.
Frothy milk: A hand frother is ideal for frothing but you can use a mason jar with a lid instead. Simply heat milk in a saucepan over low heat, carefully pour milk into the jar and cover with the lid. Use oven mitts to shake the jar until the milk is creamy and bubbly.
Stir then pour: Dissolve honey before adding milk to avoid clumps.
Serve immediately: Enjoy before the foam topping collapses.
