Serves 1

Ingredients

Espresso or strong brewed coffee
1 shot (or 1 cup)
Milk
1 cup
Limoncello liqueur
1 ounce
Honey or sugar
1-2 tablespoons (to taste)
Lemon zest
1 teaspoon
Whipped cream
for topping
Lemon slice
for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew a shot of espresso or prepare a strong cup of coffee.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
  3. Once warm, whisk in the limoncello liqueur, honey or sugar, and lemon zest until everything is well combined and the sweetener dissolves.
  4. Pour the hot milk mixture into a blender. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds to create a frothy texture.
  5. Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into a mug.
  6. Gently pour the frothy milk mixture over the espresso or coffee, using a spoon to hold back the foam if necessary.
  7. Top generously with whipped cream and garnish with a lemon slice and an extra sprinkle of lemon zest for an added zing.
  8. 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.
