Cinnamon Dolce Latte Recipe (Starbucks Copycat Drink) ☕️✨
The Cinnamon Dolce Latte is a delightful coffee beverage that combines rich espresso with steamed milk, infused with warming cinnamon and sweetened with a buttery brown sugar syrup. Topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, this drink is a cozy treat perfect for any time of year.
Ingredients
- 1 cup espresso brewed strong
- 2 cups whole milk steamed
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated
- 1 cup whipped cream for topping
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon dolce syrup homemade or store-bought
- extra ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg with 1/2 cup of water. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes before removing it from heat to cool.
- Brew 1 cup of strong espresso using your preferred method. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a Moka pot or strong coffee as a substitute.
- In a separate pot, steam 2 cups of whole milk until hot and frothy. If you have a milk frother, use it to create a velvety foam.
- In a large cup or mug, combine the brewed espresso with the prepared cinnamon syrup, stirring well to mix. Slowly add the steamed milk, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.
- Top the latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream, then drizzle with extra cinnamon dolce syrup and sprinkle with ground cinnamon for garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Cinnamon Dolce Latte!
