Notes
How to store
A honey latte is best if you drink it fresh. However, you can refrigerate in an air tight container for up to 24 hours.
Do not freeze because regular milk or a milk alternative can separate and developed an undesired texture.
More Q and A's
Do I need an espresso machine? No, you can use instant espresso or even strong coffee.
Can I use only one shot of espresso? Yes! You will have to adjust your amount of milk, maybe do 1/2 cup instead of 3/4 cup. Also, you may want to do a little less honey as well.
Do I have to steam the milk? For an iced latte, you don’t need to steam the milk. For a hot latte, steaming the milk will give it a creamy texture, but it’s not necessary if you don’t have a steamer.
