Ingredients

Scale

Coffee Base

  • 6 ounces boiling water
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder

Milk Mixture

  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ tablespoon light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg

Garnish

  • Whipped cream
  • Ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the espresso: Stir the instant espresso powder into the hot boiling water until completely dissolved, then set the espresso aside for later use.
  2. Combine milk and spices: In a glass measuring cup, whisk together the milk, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of nutmeg until thoroughly combined.
  3. Froth the milk mixture: Microwave the milk mixture for 1 minute and 30 seconds, carefully watching as it begins to froth and rise. Remove it from the microwave and stir.
  4. Continue frothing: Return the milk mixture to the microwave for an additional 30 seconds or until it froths up again, then remove carefully.
  5. Assemble the latte: Slowly pour the frothy milk mixture into the prepared espresso, stirring gently to combine everything smoothly.
  6. Add garnish: Top the latte with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top for that classic finishing touch.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while hot, savoring the comforting flavors of this homemade Cinnamon Dolce Latte.

Notes

  • Adjust the espresso powder amount to suit how strong you like your coffee.
  • Use whole milk for creamier froth or any milk alternative if preferred.
  • Microwave times may vary; watch closely to avoid boiling over.
  • The whipped cream topping adds richness but can be omitted for a lighter drink.
  • For extra flavor, add a dash of cinnamon sugar on top of the whipped cream.
