A cozy, creamy latte featuring warm cinnamon and rich brown sugar, perfect for brightening chilly mornings with a comforting coffee treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (60 ml) espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar (dark brown sugar preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional whipped cream for topping
  • Optional cinnamon stick for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew 2 shots of espresso (60 ml) or 1/2 cup (120 ml) of very strong coffee using your preferred method. Set aside.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of milk into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm gently until steaming but not boiling (around 150°F / 65°C).
  3. Stir 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon into the warm milk until sugar dissolves and milk turns caramel colored.
  4. Froth the warm milk using a milk frother or handheld whisk until light and airy with small bubbles.
  5. Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into a mug. Slowly add the frothed milk mixture, holding back some foam with a spoon, then spoon remaining foam on top.
  6. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract gently.
  7. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, a cinnamon stick, and/or whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Notes

Heat milk gently to avoid scorching and ensure proper frothing. Use oat milk for best dairy-free frothing results. Adjust cinnamon and sugar to taste. If no frother, whisk vigorously by hand or shake warm milk in a sealed jar.
