Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk dairy or oat
  • 2 teaspoons honey adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup brewed coffee cooled (or 2 shots espresso plus water)
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 cinnamon stick for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Tall glass
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, combine milk, honey, and ground cinnamon.
  2. Heat the mixture gently just until warm (not boiling), stirring until the honey completely dissolves into the milk.
  3. Fill a tall glass generously with ice cubes.
  4. Pour the cinnamon-honey milk mixture over the ice.
  5. Slowly add the cooled brewed coffee or espresso to create a layered effect.
  6. Stir to combine all flavors when ready to drink.
  7. Garnish with a cinnamon stick if desired.

Notes

For a no-heat version, combine milk, honey, and cinnamon in a cocktail shaker or mason jar with 2-3 ice cubes. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until honey dissolves, then strain over fresh ice before adding coffee.
Whole dairy milk creates the creamiest texture, but oat milk makes an excellent dairy-free alternative with its naturally rich consistency. For a stronger coffee flavor, use cold brew concentrate or freshly pulled espresso shots.
Store any leftover cinnamon-honey milk mixture in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
