Baklava Spice Latte
A luxurious coffee drink that captures the essence of baklava with honey, cinnamon, and cardamom, topped with crushed pistachios for an authentic Middle Eastern flavor experience.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk or dairy-free alternative
- 2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
- 2 tbsp honey plus extra for drizzling
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp crushed pistachios for garnish
Notes
For best results, use freshly ground cardamom and high-quality honey. The drink can be made ahead by preparing the spiced milk mixture and storing it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before frothing. For a stronger baklava flavor, add a tiny pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg. If you don't have an espresso machine, use very strong coffee or cold brew concentrate. The pistachios can be replaced with crushed walnuts for a more traditional baklava flavor profile.
