Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup brewed coffee (240 ml)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1/2 cup water (120 ml)
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60 g)
  • 1 tbsp milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup milk (60 ml, or dairy-free alternative)
  • Whipped cream
  • Optional toppings: ground cinnamon, cinnamon stick, caramel drizzle

Instructions

  1. Brew the coffee: Prepare 1 cup (240 ml) of your favorite coffee or cold brew. Let it cool slightly if using freshly brewed coffee.
  2. Make the cinnamon syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (120 ml) water, and 2 tsp ground cinnamon. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Prepare the icing drizzle: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar, 1 tbsp milk (or dairy-free alternative), and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to achieve a drizzle consistency.
  4. Assemble the coffee: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the brewed coffee over the ice until the glass is 3/4 full.
  5. Add the cinnamon syrup: Stir in 2-3 tbsp of the homemade cinnamon syrup, adjusting to your desired sweetness level.
  6. Top with milk: Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or dairy-free alternative, then stir gently to combine.
  7. Add whipped cream: Dollop whipped cream generously on top of the coffee.
  8. Drizzle with icing: Use a spoon to drizzle the icing over the whipped cream for that signature cinnamon roll vibe.
  9. Finish with toppings: Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon or add a cinnamon stick for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Use cold coffee to prevent melting the ice and diluting the flavors.’, ‘Adjust sweetness by starting with less cinnamon syrup and adding more gradually.’, ‘Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand for faster homemade whipped cream.’, ‘For the icing drizzle, aim for a slightly thick but pourable texture, like honey.’, ‘Experiment with spices by adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon syrup.’]
