Notes
* Homemade honey vanilla syrup provides the best flavor.
* Whole milk creates the creamiest latte, while oat milk is an excellent dairy-free alternative.
* Do not boil the milk, as overheating affects both flavor and texture.
* Adjust the amount of honey vanilla syrup depending on your preferred sweetness.
* For an extra bakery-inspired flavor, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the foam before serving.
* Store homemade honey vanilla syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
* This recipe makes one large latte but can easily be doubled for two servings.
