Ingredients
- Espresso or strong coffee
- 1 shot (about 1 ounce)
- Milk
- 1 cup (whole, almond, or oat)
- Honey
- 1 tablespoon (or to taste)
- Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon, plus extra for garnish
- Ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Ground pistachios
- 1 tablespoon, for garnish
Instructions
- Brew a shot of espresso or strong coffee using your preferred method, ensuring it's robust to stand up to the flavors of the spices.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring frequently to prevent scalding. For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk or a plant-based milk like oat.
- Whisk in the ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined and the honey is fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- Pour the hot milk mixture into a blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds until frothy, or use a milk frother if you have one for a smoother texture.
- Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into a mug, creating a robust base for the latte.
- Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso, using a spoon to hold back the foam to create a beautiful layered effect.
- Sprinkle ground pistachios and a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for an elegant garnish that adds a delightful crunch and flavor.
- Serve hot and savor the enchanting flavors reminiscent of Jerusalem in each delicious sip!
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of ground ginger or nutmeg to the milk mixture.
- If you prefer a sweeter latte, increase the honey to your taste or swap it for maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and sweeteners like agave syrup.
