Ingredients

  * 8 ounces sliced almonds
  * 4 cups milk
  * 4 tablespoons honey
  * 4 shots espresso or 1 cup very strong coffee
  * 4 tablespoons good quality cocoa powder

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the almonds on a sheet tray in 1 even
later and toast in the oven until fragrant and light golden, about 7 minutes.

Put the toasted almonds and milk in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat
until steaming and hot, but not boiling, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the honey and stir
until incorporated, then strain through a fine mesh strainer.

In a warm mug or heatproof glass, mix an espresso shot or 1/4 cup coffee with 1
tablespoon cocoa powder and then top with the toasted almond-infused milk.
Repeat with remaining espresso, cocoa and hot milk.
