1–2 tsp honey (adjust to taste)
-
¼ tsp vanilla extract
-
¼–½ cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy), warmed or frothed

Dissolving honey in cold coffee? Make a simple honey-vanilla syrup: warm ¼ cup honey + 1 tsp vanilla 15–20 sec, cool, and store for quick iced coffee magic.

Taste as you go: start with 1 tsp honey and adjust to your sweetness preference.
