Learn how to make a delicious honey latte … then caramelize it! Superbly sweet and delightfully creamy, this is the perfect drink to brighten any winter day. Crafted around Caffè Verona®, our Caramelized Honey Latte recipe is dripping in caramel and honey flavors dancing over a bed of roasty sweet coffee with notes of dark cocoa.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED
 ½ cup honey
 1 tsp water
 ½ tsp lemon juice
 4 cups unsweetened milk
 2 oz brewed Starbucks® Ca­ffè Verona® Whole Bean Coffee

Caramelized Honey Latte
1

Place the honey, water and lemon juice in a small pan and bring to a steady simmer on medium heat while stirring.

2

Once the honey mixture begins to bubble, stop stirring and let the honey sit for 1–2 minutes until it deepens in color and releases a nutty aroma. That’s how you know it is caramelized.

3

Slowly pour and whisk in the milk until combined. Remove from heat.

4

Prepare espresso.

We recommend brewing Starbucks® Ca­ffè Verona® Whole Bean Coffee via an espresso machine. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop moka pot to make espresso-like coffee. To learn more, read our stovetop moka pot guide here.

You can also brew Starbucks® by Nespresso® Espresso Roast capsules for authentic café-style espresso.

5

Combine the caramelized honey milk and espresso into your favorite cup.

6

Froth milk using your preferred method, and top with a drizzle of honey!
