Mix and Serve

Servings and Timing

Variations
Sweetener Alternatives: Swap honey for maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan-friendly option.
Milk Choices: While oat milk adds creaminess, almond milk or soy milk are great substitutes.
Coffee Options: Use cold brew coffee instead of espresso for a milder flavor.
Flavor Enhancements: Add a drop of almond or hazelnut extract for a nutty twist.
Seasonal Flair: Add a dash of pumpkin spice or gingerbread spice during autumn or winter months.
Storage/Reheating
Since this is a quick-to-make beverage, I recommend preparing it fresh for the best taste. However, I can store the sweetened oat milk mixture separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, I simply combine it with chilled coffee and ice. Reheating isn’t recommended as this is an iced drink.

FAQs
Can I make this latte without coffee?
Absolutely. I can replace coffee with chilled herbal tea, like chamomile or rooibos, for a caffeine-free version.

I can easily adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey based on my taste preference.
Can I make this latte ahead of time?
I can prepare the sweetened oat milk mixture ahead of time, but I recommend assembling the latte fresh for the best flavor and texture.
Is this recipe vegan?
The recipe is vegan if I substitute honey with a plant-based sweetener like agave syrup or maple syrup.
