STEP 1: Prepare the Coffee Base.

Brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method. If you don’t have an espresso machine, brew a strong coffee using a moka pot or French press.

STEP 2: Make the Cinnamon Dolce Syrup (Optional).

Combine ½ cup sugar, ½ cup water, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small saucepan. Simmer until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool. This syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.

STEP 3: Add the Syrup.

Pour the cinnamon dolce syrup into your mug. Adjust the amount based on your desired level of sweetness.

STEP 4: Steam the Milk

Heat the milk using a steam wand, stovetop, or microwave. Froth the milk using a handheld frother or whisk until it’s creamy and slightly foamy.

STEP 5: Combine and Stir.

Pour the brewed espresso into the mug over the syrup, then add the steamed milk. Stir gently to combine.

STEP 6: Garnish and Serve with friends.

Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for a beautiful and indulgent finish. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Why You’ll Love It

The cinnamon dolce latte is the ultimate cozy coffee treat. The warm spice of cinnamon pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the syrup and the richness of steamed milk, creating a drink that feels like a warm hug in a cup. It’s a great choice for when you need a little extra indulgence or a pick-me-up with a hint of spice.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Cinnamon Dolce Latte

• Use Freshly Ground Cinnamon: For a more aromatic syrup, use high-quality, freshly ground cinnamon.
• Perfect the Froth: If you don’t have a frother, whisk the milk vigorously or shake it in a mason jar before heating for a foamier texture.
• Experiment with Sweetness: Adjust the amount of syrup to suit your taste—start with one tablespoon and add more if needed.
• Chill for Summer: To make an iced version, chill the coffee and syrup before mixing and pour over ice with cold milk.

Warm, sweet, and perfectly spiced, the cinnamon dolce latte is a cozy and indulgent coffeehouse favorite. Combining bold espresso with a cinnamon-infused syrup and creamy steamed milk, this drink is perfect for chilly mornings, relaxing afternoons, or any time you crave a little comfort in a cup.
