Prepare the Espresso Mixture: In your mug, combine hot espresso, honey, cinnamon, and a small pinch of salt. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is evenly blended.
Heat the Oat Milk (Hot Latte): Using a milk frother or heating on the stovetop, warm the oat milk until hot and foamy. Be careful not to boil it to preserve creaminess.

Notes

The amount of honey can be adjusted based on sweetness preference.
Use extra creamy oat milk for best texture and flavor.
If you don’t have a milk frother, heat the milk gently in a pan and whisk vigorously to create foam.
Add more cinnamon for a spicier aroma.
For iced version, use fresh espresso and make sure to dissolve honey while the espresso is hot to ensure sweetness blends well.
