How To Make Coffee with Honey Recipe

1. Start by brewing your coffee: Measure the desired amount of ground coffee based on your taste preferences and the number of cups you want to make. Use the appropriate coffee-to-water ratio as per your coffee maker’s instructions.

2. Add honey to your cup: While the coffee brews, pour a spoonful or two of honey into your cup. Adjust the amount based on your desired sweetness level. Remember, you can always add more later if needed.

3. Sprinkle cinnamon: Once the coffee is ready, carefully pour it into your cup with the honey. Then, sprinkle a pinch or two of cinnamon on top. This will infuse your coffee with a warm and cozy flavor.

4. Stir gently: Take a spoon and gently stir the coffee, honey, and cinnamon together. This will ensure that the honey dissolves and is evenly distributed throughout the drink.

5. Add froth (optional): If you enjoy frothy coffee, you can either froth some milk using a frother. Pour the froth on top of your coffee for an extra creamy texture. This also works with creamer, which is what I love to use.

Substitutions/Variations

Sweetener- this is for my folks with those early morning sweet tooths. Add yourself a little sugar. If you are on a health kick, add keto sugar like monkfruit or stevia.

Honey Cinnamon Latte- turn this drink into a latte by adding in milk and a bit of cinnamon.

Pumpkin spice latte- sprinkle in a dash of pumpkin spice and have yourself a delicious

 spicy latte.

What To Serve with Coffee with Honey?

Biscotti: These crisp, twice-baked Italian cookies are a classic choice to enjoy with coffee. Their slightly sweet flavor complements the honey in your coffee quite well.

Toasted Almonds: Roasted or toasted almonds make a delicious and healthy pairing with coffee and honey. The nuttiness of the almonds adds a delightful crunch to your coffee break.

Fresh Fruit: I love having fresh fruits like berries, sliced apples, or grapes. The natural sweetness of the fruits will harmonize beautifully with the honey and the rich flavors of your coffee.

Cheese and Crackers: So, for those who enjoy a savory pairing, try serving a variety of cheeses and some crispy crackers alongside your coffee. The creamy and salty flavors of the cheese will complement the sweetness of the honey uniquely.

Questions

What are the different types of coffee-making methods?

Choose from options like a drip coffee maker, French press, pour-over, or an espresso machine. Each method offers a unique brewing style and flavor profile.

Does Coffee have carbs?

Black coffee is very low in carbohydrates and contains virtually no calories, making it a great option for those watching their carb intake. However, if you add things like milk, cream, sugar, or flavored syrups to your coffee, then the carb content can increase. These additions can vary in carb content, so it’s always a good idea to check the nutritional information on the specific products you use.
