My Cinnamon Latte 
For the cinnamon syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 cinnamon sticks (broken in half)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the lattes:
- 2 shots 3 oz espresso (or 4 oz. strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup milk ((whole, 2%, or oat preferred))
- 2 Tablespoons cinnamon syrup (more or less to taste, recipe below)
- Whipped cream or whipped dairy topping
- Ground cinnamon
Instructions
For the cinnamon syrup:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, water, and cinnamon sticks over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring often, and continue simmering until sugar is dissolved.
- Turn off the heat and cover the pan. Allow the mixture to steep for at least one hour or up to four hours for even more flavor.
- Strain out the cinnamon sticks, stir in the vanilla, then store in a sealed container in the fridge until ready to use.
For the lattes:
- Heat the milk on the stove top or in the microwave until steaming, but not boiling.
- Add the cinnamon syrup to the milk then use a milk frother to froth. You can also use one of the alternative methods to froth the milk.
- Pour the espresso into the bottom of a mug, then top with cinnamon milk.
- Finish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

The Sugar Cane festival? that looks like fun! Beautiful pictures. Sure wish I liked coffee, the recipe looks very good. Have a great week
ReplyDeleteYes, we grow a lots of it to process into sugar.
DeleteYou have a very nice outdoor patio/entertaining area! It looks great! I prefer sugar sweet coffee lol but don't drink it very much! I've been drinking mine with protein shakes as a creamer and its been good! I hope you have a wonderful week, and the sugar cane festival sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. It's time to enjoy the fire pit and make smores.
ReplyDeleteYum, banana bread! I really want to make some - but I'll need to make a tiny amount or I'll eat it all! And I am not a coffee drinker, I'm afraid. Wish I was. I do love to drink tea. I love pumpkin spice chai in the fall and use vanilla creamer in it! Have a great week
ReplyDeleteI made banana nut muffins last week. It was my grandmother's recipe. Wishing you a wonderful week!
