For Mother's Day 2025, give the Mom you love something that will warm their heart and their belly! Nothing says the warmth of a mother's embrace quite like the warming spice of cinnamon mixed with the natural sweetness of honey. After all, I'm sure the Queen Bee gets a lot of attention on Mother's Day since she has so many kids.
This recipe is great using a Moka Pot, like we did, but it is just as good with a good shot of espresso as well. Feel free to tinker and mess with the ratios to make it perfectly fit your desires.

When testing this recipe, we used a french roast coffee, which would qualify as a darker roast of coffee. If you want to know more about how dark and medium roasts compare to each other, follow this link and get some learning on!
Ingredients
- 4oz of Strong Coffee
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Half & Half
- 1/2 Tbsp Honey
- Dash of Cinnamon
Process
- Brew the coffee with your preferred method. The sweetness that we've dialed in is for coffee brewed with a Moka Pot. If you don't have a Moka Pot, you could also consider an immersion style brew (like a French Press) with a longer extraction time with more grounds.
- In the serving glass, use a hand frother or whisk to blend together the half & half with the sugar.
- Once completely mixed, add the honey and cinnamon and whip to your desired froth level.
- Pour the coffee directly into the serving glass, creating a creamy bottom layer of coffee with a thick, fluffy head on top.
- Before serving, pour the extra coffee from the brew in a spare glass and quickly shoot it (you might need that energy for the kids later)!
- Serve hot with a handmade card and a terribly made breakfast.
