Ingredients
Scale
Milk and Coffee
- 1 cup oat milk (unsweetened or barista blend)
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, chilled
Sweetener and Flavor
- 1–2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Extras
- Ice cubes
- Optional garnish: cinnamon or cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare Coffee: Brew a strong coffee or espresso and allow it to chill completely in the refrigerator. This ensures your latte stays cool without watering down from melting ice.
- Add Sweetener and Flavor: In a glass, combine the chilled coffee with 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey, depending on your preferred sweetness, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir well to dissolve the honey and blend the flavors.
- Add Oat Milk: Pour 1 cup of oat milk into the coffee mixture. For a creamier texture, use a barista blend oat milk designed for coffee drinks.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the latte further and provide that refreshing iced texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top for an extra aromatic touch. Stir gently and enjoy your iced oat milk honey vanilla latte immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste or substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetness profile.
- Use strong espresso or concentrated coffee to maintain a robust coffee flavor when mixed with milk and ice.
- For a vegan version, ensure the honey is replaced with a plant-based sweetener like maple syrup.
- Barista blend oat milk is recommended for frothier and creamier lattes but regular unsweetened oat milk works well too.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
