ingredient notes

For this honey brown coffee you will only need a handful of easy ingredients:

honey: used to sweeten coffee instead of white sugar, I used raw honey as it has the most health benefits. there are many different types of honey you can use, so feel free to experiment with different types!
Bold Coffee: You can use strong coffee prepared in a French press, drip, or espresso.
whole milk – steamed to 165 degrees f. I find it useful to have a drink thermometer to make sure it reaches the right temperature!
ground cinnamon: to top and finish this honey latte!

When it comes to making espresso, you can do it in many different ways! the easiest way is an espresso machine, which can be an expensive investment at first, but I’ve found it’s worth every penny!

If you haven’t convinced yourself to splurge on one yet, don’t worry, it took me a while too! You can definitely enjoy a cup of this coffee using a nespresso machine as well, or even using a bold roast in a French press or drip will work just as well for this recipe!

An advantage of the espresso machine is the built-in frother to steam the milk! but you can also easily heat milk on the stove in a small saucepan!

When heating on the stove, be careful not to let the milk simmer. once it reaches temperature, just use a handheld frother or immersion blender to froth the milk.

Another easy technique I’ve discovered for steaming milk is to pour it into a mason jar and shake it until it’s really bubbly. then just microwave it until the foam rises to the top!

how to make coffee with honey

add honey to your coffee mug or double-walled tumbler.

can I make this Spanish coffee with honey dairy free?

yes you can! just swap the whole milk for coconut milk or cashew milk, both of which can be steamed just like whole milk.

How many drinks does this recipe make?

does honey have fewer calories than white sugar?

it’s actually quite the opposite! honey has slightly more calories than sugar.

A teaspoon of honey has 21 calories while a teaspoon of sugar has 16 calories. but keep in mind that honey is sweeter, so you may need less than sugar to sweeten your coffee to your liking!
