Copycat Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte Recipe
Description
The recipe breaks down into two parts: preparing the homemade cinnamon syrup and assembling the latte. The syrup is made by boiling a mixture of white and brown sugar with water and cinnamon sticks, reducing it until thickened, then adding vanilla extract once cooled to enhance flavor complexity. The latte starts with brewing coffee at double strength to prevent dilution from milk additions. Milk is heated and frothed until foamy. A measured amount of cinnamon syrup is stirred into the hot coffee, then topped with steamed milk, froth, whipped cream, and a cinnamon sprinkle for garnish.
The drink offers a balance of bold coffee bitterness with the sweet, spiced notes of cinnamon and vanilla in the syrup. The creamy milk softens the bitterness and adds body. This latte can be served hot for a comforting beverage that recalls the Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte experience made fresh at home with control over sweetness and spice level.
Nutrition information varies depending on ingredient amounts. The cinnamon syrup can be stored refrigerated in a mason jar and used to make multiple servings. Adjust syrup quantity per cup to taste.
