Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • Cocoa powder (1 tablespoon, plus extra for garnish)
  • Honey (2 tablespoons)
  • Aegean sea salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Milk (1.5 cups)
  • Espresso (1 shot)

Instructions

  1. Begin by brewing a shot of espresso using your espresso machine or coffee maker. Set it aside to cool slightly.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Be careful not to let it boil, as this can affect the taste and texture of the milk.
  3. Once the milk is hot, remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the Aegean sea salt, honey, and cocoa powder until they are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Pour the hot milk mixture into a blender and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds. This will create a frothy, airy texture that is characteristic of a latte.
  5. Pour the frothy milk into a large mug. Slowly pour in the brewed espresso, allowing it to mix with the milk.
  6. Gently stir the latte to ensure the flavors are well combined. The result should be a creamy, harmonious blend of the espresso and the sea salt-infused milk.
  7. For an added touch of elegance, sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder on top as a garnish.
  8. Your Aegean Sea Salt Latte is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it hot, and savor the unique, indulgent flavors.
