Iced Cinnamon Honey Latte
A great combination of flavors comes in our Iced Cinnamon Honey Latte. This drink is just what you want as an afternoon pick me up or to get yourself going first thing in the morning. It starts with a homemade simple syrup made with Roark Acres Pure Raw Honey, plus cinnamon and Griffin’s vanilla. The syrup is so delicious you may want to make extra to use in hot coffee, tea or iced drinks. The syrup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for a week. Once the syrup is made, it’s combined with Compadres cold-brewed coffee and Braum’s milk. One special touch that’s worth it is to make some coffee ice cubes ahead of time. Remember to pour a little coffee into an ice cube tray a day or so before making the latte. Popping those coffee ice cubes into your latte is a real treat – a coffee shop perk you can have at home.
