  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Cinnamon Syrup

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cinnamon sticks (broken in half)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Lattes

  • 2 shots (3 oz) espresso (or 4 oz strong brewed coffee)
  • 1 cup milk (whole, 2%, or oat preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon syrup (more or less to taste)
  • Whipped cream or whipped dairy topping
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make Cinnamon Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, water, and cinnamon sticks over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat, cover the pan, and let the mixture steep for at least one hour or up to four hours for deeper cinnamon flavor. Strain out the cinnamon sticks, stir in the vanilla extract, and store the syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  2. Steam Milk: Heat the milk on the stovetop or microwave until steaming but not boiling. Heating ensures the milk is warm and ready for frothing without scorching or boiling over.
  3. Froth Milk: Add the desired amount of cinnamon syrup to the warm milk. Use a milk frother to create a rich, frothy texture. Alternative frothing methods such as shaking in a jar or whisking vigorously can be used if a frother is unavailable.
  4. Assemble Latte: Pour the espresso shots into the bottom of your mug. Gently pour the frothed cinnamon-infused milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to settle on top to create a layered effect.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Top the latte with a generous swirl of whipped cream or whipped dairy topping. Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the cream for a fragrant and visually appealing finish. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • To make the cinnamon syrup more flavorful, steep the cinnamon sticks in the sugar water mixture for up to four hours before straining.
  • If you don’t have espresso, strong brewed coffee works as a great alternative.
  • For a dairy-free option, oat milk is recommended because it froths well and complements the cinnamon flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon syrup to your taste preference; start with two tablespoons and add more if desired.
  • Whipped cream is optional but adds a creamy richness and beautiful presentation.
  • The cinnamon syrup can be stored refrigerated for up to two weeks.
