Homemade Honey Plum Latte
Beat the Summer Heat: Easily Make a Sweet & Tart Honey Plum Latte with Just a Blender
Summer’s star fruit, plums, are here with their delightful sweet and tart flavor! Don’t toss those overripe plums that aren’t as tasty on their own. With a blender, you can whip up a quick plum base for a delicious plum latte. This recipe is perfect for a hot day or any day you crave a refreshing, homemade treat.
Ingredients
- 4 Ripe Plums
- 3 Tbsp Honey
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 cup Milk
- Ice cubes, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Select plums that are ripe and soft but not mushy. Ensure the skin is free from blemishes.
Step 2
Take 3 of the plums, remove the pits, and cut them into roughly 1-1.5cm pieces. Place these into the blender. For the remaining 1 plum, remove the pit and dice it into about 0.5cm cubes. Set these diced pieces aside; they’ll add a lovely texture to the finished latte.
Step 3
Add 3 tablespoons of honey to the blender with the chopped plums. Honey will enhance the natural sweetness of the plums and add a smooth, rich flavor.
Step 4
Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding sugar. Add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar to the blender. The combination of honey and sugar creates a more complex and satisfying sweetness.
Step 5
Blend the plums. Aim for a slightly chunky consistency rather than a completely smooth purée. Leaving some small pieces of plum will ensure a more enjoyable texture in your latte.
Step 6
Pour about half a cup of the blended plum mixture into your serving cup. This forms the flavorful base of your latte.
Step 7
Generously top the plum purée with the reserved diced plum pieces. These will provide delightful bursts of fresh plum flavor as you drink.
Step 8
Fill the rest of the cup with ice cubes. The ice will keep your latte refreshingly cold and also add to its appealing presentation.
Step 9
Pour 1 cup (200ml) of milk into the blender and briefly blend until frothy. Gently pour this frothed milk over the ice and plums in your cup. Pouring slowly along the side of the cup will create a beautiful layered effect.
Step 10
Your delicious Honey Plum Latte is ready! The perfect balance of tart plums and creamy milk is truly delightful. Who knew you could make such a special drink so easily with just a blender? Enjoy this refreshing summer treat!
