Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee beans
- 2 tablespoons
- Water
- 1 cup
- Milk
- 1 cup
- Honey
- 1-2 tablespoons, to taste
- Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Extra cinnamon and nutmeg

Instructions
- Start by brewing the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee using your preferred method, such as a French press or pour-over. Use 1 cup of water for every 2 tablespoons of coffee.
- While the coffee brews, pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling. Stir gently to prevent scorching.
- Once the milk is heated, use a milk frother or a whisk to froth the milk until it reaches a creamy and foamy consistency.
- In a large mug, combine the brewed coffee with honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to ensure the honey dissolves and the spices are evenly distributed.
- Slowly pour the frothed milk over the coffee mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.
- Gently spoon the remaining foam on top of the latte for a lovely finish.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg on top for garnish, enhancing both the aroma and flavor.
- Serve hot and savor the delightful blend of flavors.
