Classic Miel — A Favorite Coffee Drink
We love a miel so much we decided to add it to our website! This coffee drink has been a favorite here at Fit Foodie Finds for years, and today we’re finally sharing our own twist on this classic drink.
Spoiler alert: all you need is 4 ingredients ?
Miel is a coffee drink that hails from Spain, and is how it gets its name. Because miel means honey in Spanish, a miel drink typically uses honey as a sweetener, which also gives it a uniquely delicious flavor.
Our miel recipe calls for espresso, but if you prefer to start with a strong brewed coffee, that will work as well!
What You Need to Make a Miel
You only need 4 ingredients to make this miel latte. It’s time to round up:
- Espresso:
- Simple Syrup:
- Milk: this recipe works with any kind of milk your heart desires. We prefer it with almond milk or oat milk, but you can also use cow’s milk.
- Cinnamon: a pinch of cinnamon is what gives this miel its classic creamy cinnamon taste.

How to Make a Miel Step by Step
This miel is super easy to make in your own kitchen. Now that you have your 4 ingredients, it’s time to follow these 4 easy steps. You’re less than 5 minutes away from enjoying this delicious drink!
Add espresso to the bottom of a coffee cup or travel mug if you’re taking this drink on the go.
When it comes time to brew your espresso, eel free to use a Nespresso machine for this (using an espresso pod); that’s what we did! You’ll need 1.5 oz. espresso.
Don’t worry, if you don’t have an espresso maker in your own home, we recommend:
- Cold brew espresso: this is pre-made and readily available at most grocery stores. We recommend the Chameleon brand.
- Instant espresso: comes in a packet that you dilute with water.
- Brew really strong coffee: brew a cup of super strong coffee. You can use a drip coffee machine or a French press.
Pour the milk and simple syrup into a jar and heat it in the microwave for 40 seconds. Or if you prefer to use the stove top: heat it in a saucepan over medium/low heat until hot (be careful not to burn it!).
Return the milk mixture to the jar and froth the milk until a thick froth forms. You can froth the milk by shaking in the mason jar or by using a hand frother.
Pour the milk over the espresso, sprinkle with cinnamon, and ENJOY.
Try it!
