Print Recipe

A cozy, creamy latte inspired by cinnamon rolls, blending cinnamon-infused syrup, rich espresso, and steamed milk topped with whipped cream for a comforting homemade drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 shot (1 oz / 30 ml) freshly brewed espresso or 1/4 cup (60 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or almond, oat, or coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon (preferably Saigon cinnamon)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy whipping cream (optional, for topping)
  • Pinch of brown sugar (for dusting)
  • Light dusting of ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the cinnamon syrup: Combine granulated sugar, water, and ground cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture simmers (5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
  2. Brew espresso or strong coffee: Prepare 1 shot (1 oz / 30 ml) espresso or 1/4 cup (60 ml) strong coffee using your preferred method.
  3. Steam and froth the milk: Heat milk to about 150°F (65°C) using a steam wand or stovetop. Froth until creamy with light foam on top.
  4. Assemble the latte: Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cinnamon syrup into a mug. Add espresso or coffee, then gently pour steamed milk over. Stir lightly to blend.
  5. Top it off: Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spoon or pipe onto latte, then dust with brown sugar and ground nutmeg.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, cinnamon-spiced latte.

Notes

Use freshly ground cinnamon and quality espresso beans for best flavor. If syrup crystallizes when cooled, warm it slightly before use. Milk temperature should be about 150°F (65°C) to avoid burnt taste. Syrup can be made ahead and stored refrigerated up to two weeks. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and coconut whipped cream.
