Instructions

  1. Make the Cinnamon Dolce Syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 2 cinnamon sticks. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves.
  2. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse cinnamon flavor. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract. Let syrup cool completely (about 20 minutes).
  3. Prepare cold brew coffee if not using store-bought: Combine 1 cup coarse coffee grounds with 4 cups cold water in a cold brew maker or jar. Stir gently.
  4. Cover and steep in fridge for 12-24 hours. Strain through fine mesh or coffee filter and chill.
  5. Fill a glass with about 1 cup ice cubes.
  6. Pour 1 cup cold brew coffee over ice.
  7. Add ยผ cup cinnamon dolce syrup (adjust sweetness to taste).
  8. Pour in ยฝ cup milk or milk alternative. Stir gently to combine.
  9. Optional: Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon.
  10. Stir quickly and enjoy immediately.

Notes

If syrup crystallizes in the fridge, warm gently before use. Use coarsely ground coffee for best flavor. Adjust syrup sweetness and milk type to taste. Avoid shaking the drink to prevent froth; stir instead. Store syrup in airtight container up to two weeks and cold brew coffee up to one week refrigerated.
