Iced Honey Cinnamon Breve
This creamy iced honey cinnamon breve makes the perfect coffee treat for a hot summer afternoon or anytime! With just 4 basic ingredients this homemade breve can be whipped in under 5 minutes, and tastes way better than anything you can get from the coffee shops!
Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp instant coffee + 1 1/2 tbsp hot water OR 1 shot of espresso
- 1/2 tbsp raw honey
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- half n' half
Instructions
- In a small dish combine the instant coffee and cinnamon, add the hot water, and stir until the coffee is completely dissolved.
- Or if you are using a shot of espresso, place the cinnamon in a small dish/bowl and brew the shot into it, stirring as it is brewing if at all possible. This will help to mix the cinnamon in without it clumping.
- Add the honey to the coffee mixture, and stir until it is completely melted. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before moving on to the next step.
- Fill a glass all the way up with ice(I like to use a 12 oz glass for these measurements), add a splash of half n' half, then pour in the coffee mixture. Fill the glass the rest of the way up with half n' half, and give it a quick stir.
- If you like you can top your breve with whipped cream, a drizzle of honey, or even cinnamon sticks. But I prefer this drink without any toppings!
- Enjoy!
Notes
If you would like to make your breve stronger or you want to make a larger size. I would recommend using a double shot of espresso or doubling the instant coffee and water measurements.
You can use any milk of choice instead of half n' half for this recipe, to create a honey cinnamon latte. You can use regular dairy milk or dairy-free milk, almond milk, coconut milk, and oat milk will all work well!
Sometimes I like to add a splash of vanilla extract to this recipe, to create a richer flavor!
To make a hot honey cinnamon breve, make the coffee mixture as directed above. Then heat the half n' half in a small saucepan until hot. (you can also use a steam wand/milk frother if you have your own espresso machine!) Pour the coffee mixture into your favorite mug then pour in the hot half n' half. Enjoy!
You don't have instant coffee or espresso to use for this recipe, you can also use 1/4 cup of regular strong coffee. Or 1/4 cup of French press coffee. Just be sure to use hot coffee!
