Print Recipe

A cozy and easy-to-make cinnamon dolce latte that replicates the rich, sweet flavor of the café favorite using simple ingredients and no specialty syrups.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 shot (1 oz / 30 ml) freshly brewed espresso or 1/4 cup (60 ml) strong brewed coffee (dark roast preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or dairy-free alternative like oat or almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (freshly ground preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)
  • Cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 shot (1 oz / 30 ml) of espresso or 1/4 cup (60 ml) of strong coffee using your preferred method and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of brown sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of milk into a small saucepan over medium-low heat and warm until steaming and small bubbles form at the edges (around 150°F / 65°C), but do not boil.
  4. Stir the cinnamon sugar mixture into the warm milk until fully dissolved.
  5. Froth the milk using a handheld frother or whisk vigorously for 30 seconds to 1 minute until creamy and frothy. Alternatively, use an immersion blender or whisk.
  6. Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into a mug or latte glass. Slowly add the warm, frothy cinnamon milk on top, holding back foam with a spoon, then spoon foam on top last.
  7. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract if desired.
  8. Top with whipped cream and garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick.

Notes

Warm milk slowly to avoid scalding or curdling. Dissolve cinnamon sugar fully before frothing to avoid grit. Use fresh cinnamon for best aroma. For dairy-free, oat milk froths best. Espresso freshness and grind size affect flavor. Optionally make cinnamon syrup ahead as a shortcut.
