Instructions
- Brew a shot of espresso or prepare a strong cup of coffee.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
- Once warm, whisk in the limoncello liqueur, honey or sugar, and lemon zest until everything is well combined and the sweetener dissolves.
- Pour the hot milk mixture into a blender. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds to create a frothy texture.
- Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into a mug.
- Gently pour the frothy milk mixture over the espresso or coffee, using a spoon to hold back the foam if necessary.
- Top generously with whipped cream and garnish with a lemon slice and an extra sprinkle of lemon zest for an added zing.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste!
Tips
- For an extra creamy texture, use whole milk or even a milk alternative like oat milk.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or sugar according to your taste.
- For a cold version, blend ice into the frothy milk mixture for a refreshing iced Limoncello Latte.
