Ingredients
Cinnamon Dolce Syrup
- 1 whole vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 whole cinnamon sticks
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
Cinnamon Dolce Latte
- ⅓ cup espresso or very strong coffee
- ½ ounce cinnamon dolce syrup
- ½ cup whole milk oat milk, or your favorite milk
- ¼ cup whipped cream optional
- 1 pinch cinnamon for topping
Instructions
Cinnamon Dolce Syrup
- Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds (do not discard).
- Add the cinnamon sticks, vanilla bean pod halves and the seeds to a medium pot of water.
- Bring to a boil. After 5 minutes, lower heat.
- Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove the pods and cinnamon sticks. (You may reserve them for bottling, if desired). Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer to filter out clumps of vanilla seeds.
- Store in a food-safe, airtight container such as a mason jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 1 month. If the syrup begins to look cloudy, it’s time to toss it.
Cinnamon Dolce Latte
- Make your espresso. Then add to a latte mug and add cinnamon syrup. Stir to combine.
- Make steamed milk. Use a milk frother machine or a milk frother tool to froth warm milk.
- Pour the milk over the espresso.
- Top with whipped cream, if desired, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
