Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (60 ml / 2 fl oz) freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • ยผ cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • ยผ cup (60 ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, almond milk, oat milk)
  • Ice cubes, enough to fill the glass
  • ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brown sugar syrup: In a small saucepan, combine ยผ cup (50 g) brown sugar with ยผ cup (60 ml) water and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Brew your coffee: Pull 2 shots (60 ml / 2 fl oz) of espresso or brew a strong coffee concentrate. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Fill your serving glass: Add ice cubes to fill about two-thirds of a tall glass.
  4. Combine coffee and syrup: Pour the espresso or strong coffee over the ice, then add 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) of the cooled brown sugar syrup. Stir gently to mix.
  5. Add milk: Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of your choice of milk over the coffee mixture.
  6. Optional vanilla boost: Add ยฝ teaspoon of vanilla extract if desired. Stir gently.
  7. Final stir and serve: Give the latte one last gentle stir to blend the layers. Taste and adjust sweetness with extra syrup if needed.

Notes

Make the brown sugar syrup fresh or store refrigerated for up to one week. Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink cold longer. Use fresh espresso cooled slightly to avoid diluting the drink. Adjust milk type for creaminess or dietary needs. Avoid adding syrup to hot coffee over ice to prevent watering down.
