Servings: 1 latte (16 ounces)
Equipment
- Espresso machine or coffee maker
- Handheld frother (optional)
Ingredients
Cinnamon Dolce Syrup (makes 4 servings)
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Iced Cinnamon Dolce Latte (16 ounces)
- 1 cup ice
- 1-2 shots of espresso *see notes for coffee options
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon dolce syrup
- 1 cup milk of choice (whole milk, 2%, coconut, almond milk, oat milk etc.)
- Optional: whipped cream, dairy-free whipped cream and more cinnamon for dusting
Instructions
- Add all of the syrup ingredients to a small saucepan over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring ever 2-3 minutes, until the mixture has reduced by half and thickened.
- Remove the syrup from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. You can store it in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Pour 3 tablespoons of the cinnamon dolce syrup into a liquid measuring cup with your choice of milk. Use a hand frother to blend it together until frothy (a spoon works too it just won’t be frothy).
- Add ice cubes to a tall glass then pour the cinnamon dolce milk mixture on top. Finish by pouring the espresso (or coffee) on top and stir to combine. Top with whipped cream, if desired, then sprinkle with a little more cinnamon.

Notes
Storage: store leftover cinnamon dolce syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Store latte, without ice, in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Dairy-free: use a nondairy milk like almond, oat or coconut.
Low carb and low sugar: use monk fruit sweetener instead of maple syrup or sugar. We tested this recipe with TruEats Monk Fruit Sweetener. This latte has 4 net carbs if made with monk fruit.
Coffee Options
- Espresso: use a fancy espresso machine or grab a cheap one on Amazon you can use on the stove top.
- Cold brew coffee: store bought or your own cold brew coffee are both great options.
- Very strong coffee: brew the strongest coffee you can for a latte
