Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this latte without an espresso machine?

Absolutely! You can use strong brewed coffee or a stovetop espresso maker (like a Moka pot) as an alternative to espresso shots.

What if I don’t have oat milk?

You can substitute oat milk with almond milk, soy milk, or regular dairy milk. The flavor and texture will vary slightly, but it will still be delicious!

Is this drink vegan?

To make it vegan, simply swap out the honey for maple syrup or agave nectar.

Can I prepare the milk without a steam wand?

Yes! You can froth the milk using a handheld milk frother, a French press, or even by shaking it vigorously in a heat-safe jar before heating.

Can I use pre-ground coffee?

While freshly ground coffee provides the best flavor, pre-ground coffee will work if it's ground fine enough for espresso.

Can I make a larger batch of this latte?

Yes! Simply multiply the ingredients for the number of servings you want, and heat the milk mixture in a larger saucepan.

How can I make this drink sweeter?

Add an extra teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener to adjust the sweetness to your liking.

What other spices can I use?

Nutmeg, cloves, or even a pinch of ground ginger can add extra warmth and depth to the flavor profile.
