Marissa's MediterraneanA velvety, sun-drenched latte that brings the heart of the Mediterranean to your morning mug with silky olive oil and floral honey.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the milk, honey, and scraped vanilla bean seeds.
Don't let the milk boil; you just want it steaming and fragrant.
Whisk the mixture constantly until the honey is fully dissolved and the milk is frothy.
Slowly stream in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking vigorously to emulsify the oil into the milk.
This creates that signature 'golden' velvet texture!
Pour your hot espresso into a large mug and top with the golden vanilla milk.
Finish with a tiny pinch of sea salt on top to make the honey flavors pop.
For the best flavor, use a high-quality, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. The vanilla bean adds a lovely speckled look and deep aroma, but 1 tsp of vanilla extract works in a pinch! If you want it even frothier, give it a quick whiz in a blender.
