Instant coffee – or brew your own, but you only need about 1/2 cup and I like to just make it real fast (and strong) with hot boiling water, plus I use decaf and we don’t often have a pot of decaf sitting around, so, yeah. Instant coffee. You do you.
Oatmilk – thickness, taste, and frothing quality varies by brand; I like Oatly, Chobani, and Forager.
Honey – usually local is best for finding one with a good flavor, but I recently bought some Wholesome! brand honey and was shocked at its unique, rich floral flavor.
Cinnamon – optional, but do you love yourself or not?
Salt – just a half a pinch.
You heat up your honey, oatmilk, and salt in a jar in the microwave, pop the lid on, and shake it up. Now you pour it over your coffee. And you win the cozy-morning-at-home olympics. The end.
While most drinks require too much energy to make latte worthwhile for me, the equation is just right on this one.
The minimal effort involved + the resulting incredibly cozy taste and texture = worth it. More than worth it. Better than worth it.
