    I've been on an oat milk latte kick lately. I love oat milk because it has a somewhat milder taste than soymilk. Adding honey into the mix really adds a nice subtle sweetness to this drink. I love making Starbucks drinks at home, like my Irish cream cold brew. And while you're at it, why not pair this with a delicious slice of pumpkin walnut bread?

    Why you'll love this recipe

    • The perfect drink for a chilly fall or winter morning.
    • A quick copycat recipe, for those mornings you're in a rush with no time to run to Starbucks.
    • An indulgent drink with a touch of sweetness and a little caffeine!

    Key ingredients

    You only need four ingredients, and you'll be on your way to oat milk latte bliss in minutes!

    ingredients for a honey oatmilk latte.

    Oatmilk: Starbucks oat milk is the Oatly brand. Specifically, they use the barista edition of Oatly in their drinks. I highly recommend this brand because its texture is smooth and velvety. And it makes a great foam that doesn't disappear right away.

    Espresso: Starbucks uses its blond espresso roast in its recipe. Feel free to use any espresso or strong-brewed coffee in your drink. I even like the little espresso packets when I'm in a pinch.

    Honey: This recipe uses pure honey for a little added sweetness. Starbucks technically uses a "honey blend" in its honey oatmilk latte. This syrup is made from honey, water, and other natural flavors. You can adjust the sweetness in this recipe by using more or less honey.

    Step-by-step instructions

    Step 1) Make Espresso. Make your strongly brewed coffee. Add the honey and stir to dissolve. Set the glass aside.

    Step 2) Steam the Milk. On the stove, add the oat milk to a medium-sized pot. Heat it slowly over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't boil. If you have an instant-read thermometer, you want the oat milk to be between 155 and 165 degrees.

    Step 3) Froth the Milk. I like to use a handheld milk frother, but there are three options in the recipe notes below. Leave the milk in the pan and place the frother halfway into the milk. Froth the milk for 30 to 45 seconds by slowly pulling the wand up to the surface and down to the middle again.

    Step 4) Mix and Enjoy! Add the milk to your latte glass. Take it slowly, using a spoon to hold back the foam. Finally, add the foam with your spoon. Maybe you even want to enjoy this honey oatmilk latte with my Starbucks cake pop recipe!

    Heather's helpful hints

    Don't heat your milk past 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remember, you are trying to steam your milk, not bring it to boiling.

    TOP TIP: It's really important to hold back the foam when you are pouring your drink. You want to reserve the foam for the very top of your drink. I like to use a spoon to allow the milk to pour out while reserving the foam for the very end.

    If you don't have honey, you can use other sweeteners such as maple syrup, agave syrup, or simple syrup. Alternatively, you can completely omit the honey if you want a plain oat latte.

    How to froth milk

    There are three great options that I like to use to froth my milk:

    1. Use a whisk if you don't have any special tools at home.
    2. Purchase a handheld milk frother for the best results.
    3. Shake it in a mason jar if you have lots of energy.

    All jokes aside, any of these options work great in a pinch. I love my handheld milk frother, but I was okay using my trusty kitchen whisk for many years.

    Equipment

    You don't need an espresso machine to make this recipe at home. Heck, you don't even need espresso to make this recipe a success. You can use hot brewed coffee instead if you don't have freshly brewed espresso or the little espresso packets. I promise this is just as delicious in this recipe. Simply brew strong coffee in a regular coffee pot. You'll want about a half cup of coffee for this recipe.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I make this drink iced?

    Absolutely! Simply fill your glass with ice, and pour the cooled espresso and oat milk in to make the drink iced. Stir and enjoy. You can also make coffee-flavored ice cubes if you don't want the water to dilute your drink.

    What is oat milk?

    Oat milk is a replacement for cow's milk, which is very popular nowadays. It's made from oats, water, and some sweetener. It's straightforward to make homemade oatmilk to enjoy.
