Ingredients

Maple Cinnamon Latte Ingredients

  • 2-3 teaspoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 shot espresso (or strong coffee)
  • 2/3 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)

Instructions

  1. Combine Flavorings: Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract (if using), and ground cinnamon into a mug. Stir well to blend the flavors together thoroughly.
  2. Add Espresso: Pour in one shot of freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee into the mug. Stir the mixture until the cinnamon is fully dissolved and all ingredients are evenly combined.
  3. Froth Milk: Warm the milk until hot but not boiling, then froth it using a milk frother until nice and foamy. This step adds creamy texture and volume to the latte.
  4. Assemble Latte: Slowly pour the frothed milk over the coffee mixture, using a spoon to hold back the foam initially. Then gently spoon the foam on top for a luscious finish.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle a little extra maple syrup over the foam, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top, and optionally place a cinnamon stick in the mug for presentation and added aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting maple cinnamon latte.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for the creamiest texture, or substitute with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
  • If you don’t have an espresso machine, strong brewed coffee works perfectly well as an alternative.
  • Adjust the maple syrup amount based on your desired sweetness level.
  • Frothing the milk is key for achieving the café-style latte experience, but if unavailable, heating milk without frothing still makes a delicious drink.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and ensure maple syrup is pure and unprocessed.
