Variations

Sweetness Levels: If I prefer a sweeter latte, I add an extra drizzle of honey or substitute with maple syrup.

Dairy-Free Options: Almond, oat, or coconut milk all work wonderfully for a creamy, non-dairy version.

Cold Brew Substitute: I sometimes use cold brew coffee instead of espresso for a smoother flavor.

Extra Spice: For a stronger cinnamon kick, I increase the cinnamon or add a dash of nutmeg.

Vanilla Twist: A splash of vanilla extract can elevate the flavor for a dessert-like latte.

Storage/Reheating

This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but if I need to store it:

Refrigeration: I keep the prepared honey cinnamon milk in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Reassembly: When I’m ready to enjoy it again, I simply reassemble the drink with fresh coffee and ice.

Avoid reheating: Since it’s an iced latte, reheating isn’t ideal, but the milk mixture can be warmed gently if preferred.
