Ingredient Notes

Ingredient quantities are listed in the recipe card below. Here you’ll find notes on why we chose certain ingredients as well as any substitutions.

Espresso: We always recommend using high-quality ingredients, especially when it comes to espresso. We use this Lavazza Crema e Aroma.
Honey: You’ll need 2 tsp.
Vanilla Bean Paste: Vanilla bean paste has a more robust flavor than vanilla extract. However, if you don’t have any on hand, the extract will do.
Flaky Sea Salt: Just a pinch is all you need to amplify the flavors in the drink. Trust us, it makes a huge difference!
Oat Milk: We use Oatly, but you can use whatever brand you like best.

Expert Tip

Add the honey into the espresso right away. The warmth of freshly pulled espresso helps to dissolve the honey. If you stir it in after the ice has been added, it will seize up and form clumps in your latte.

FAQ

Can I use regular coffee instead of espresso?

Drip coffee doesn’t have the same full-bodied flavor that espresso has and is more acidic. And while it’s not the best option, you can use ¼ cup (60 ml) of strongly brewed coffee in place of the 2 shots of espresso.

Can I use fine sea salt?

It’s easier to over-salt your drink with fine sea salt which is why we prefer to use flakes. If you use fine granules, start with a smaller amount then add a tiny bit more until it fits to your liking.
