Welcome to a world where sweet meets savory in perfect harmony! Our Salted Honey Latte is inspired by the beloved Starbucks creation, bringing the coffeehouse experience right to your kitchen. This recipe combines the rich, bold flavors of espresso with the delicate sweetness of honey, elevated by a touch of salt that awakens your taste buds.
We use a dark roast espresso to stand up to the sweetness of the honey, creating a robust base for our latte. The honey is gently heated with a pinch of sea salt, creating a syrup that adds depth and complexity to the drink. The milk is steamed to velvety perfection, creating a creamy canvas for the espresso and honey syrup. The result is a latte that's both comforting and exciting, perfect for slow mornings or afternoon pick-me-ups.
