It’s like a coffee date in a mug—just add your favorite pastry and a moment of sunshine.

Ingredients

• 1 cup freshly brewed strong coffee (espresso or drip)
• 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
• 1 tsp orange zest
• 1–2 tsp honey or granulated sugar, to taste
• ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

Special Tips

• If you don’t have a frother, shake warm milk vigorously in a sealed jar for 30 seconds.
• Swap orange for grapefruit or tangerine juice for a different citrus twist.
• For an icy version, brew coffee strong, let it cool, then blend with ice and milk for a refreshing spring frappe.
