Spring Latte with Vanilla and Honey

Welcome spring with this creamy vanilla and honey latte, made with rich Catunambú espresso. A light, sweet coffee moment to celebrate the sunshine.

A soft, sweet coffee treat to welcome the sunshine

Spring is here. You can feel it in the scent of freshly cut grass, the longer days, and those first warm rays of sun touching your face in the morning. It’s the perfect time to shift your coffee routine into something lighter, fresher. Out with the heavy, wintery mugs filled with spices—it’s time to brighten things up.

That’s where this Spring Latte with Vanilla and Honey comes in. It’s creamy, smooth, naturally sweet thanks to a touch of honey, and infused with warm vanilla. Add a hint of lemon zest, and you’ve got yourself a cup of sunshine that smells as fresh as it tastes.

And the foundation? A bold, full-bodied espresso made with Catunambú coffee, of course.

What you'll need

For one serving:

• 1 shot of Catunambú espresso

• ¾ cup (200 ml) of whole milk (or oat/almond milk for a dairy-free option)

• 1 teaspoon of honey

• ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

• Optional: a bit of lemon zest, cinnamon, or even dried lavender to garnish

How to make it – step by step

1. Brew your espresso
Start strong with a rich, flavorful shot of Catunambú espresso. The deep notes in this coffee are the perfect base for a smooth and lightly sweet latte.

2. Warm and froth the milk
Heat your milk in a small saucepan until it’s hot but not boiling. If you have a milk frother, use it to get that silky foam. No frother? No problem—use a whisk or shake it in a tightly sealed jar until nice and frothy.

3. Add the honey and vanilla
Stir the honey and vanilla extract into the warm milk. Give it a taste—if you like things a little sweeter, add a bit more honey to your liking.

4. Pour and layer
Pour the espresso into your favorite mug or glass. Slowly add the warm, flavored milk, and spoon the foam on top to finish.

5. Garnish with a spring twist
Top your latte with some fresh lemon zest for a bright note. Want something extra? A pinch of cinnamon or a sprinkle of dried lavender adds a beautiful floral vibe.

How to serve it

This latte is perfect for slow spring mornings on the patio or as a cozy drink during a sunny brunch. Pair it with a slice of lemon cake, a buttery croissant, or a handful of blueberries for a light, seasonal treat.

Set a vase of flowers on the table, crack open the window, and let spring in—one sip at a time.

Bring spring into your cup—every day

The Spring Latte with Vanilla and Honey is more than just a coffee drink—it’s a mini ritual. A way to slow down, savor the season, and enjoy the little things that make life brighter.
