🔪 Instructions
Once you see how easy it is to make your own cinnamon dolce syrup, you'll never need to go to Starbucks again! All you will need is measuring cups, a saucepan, and a whisk.
This recipe is for 2 cups of coffee, but it will make enough cinnamon dolce syrup for several cups.
Making The Cinnamon Dolce Syrup
Step 1: Combine. Combine ¾ cup (150 grams) of sugar, ¼ cup (55 grams) of light brown sugar, 1 cup (237 milliliters) of water, and 2 whole cinnamon sticks (7 grams) in a saucepan.
Step 2: Boil. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3: Simmer. Simmer until the mixture thickens and clings to your spoon, then remove the pot from the heat and then stir in 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of vanilla extract.
Cinnamon Dolce Latte Assembly
Step 4: Assemble. Pour 1 cup (237 milliliters) of strong brewed coffee into a large mug and stir in 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of homemade Starbucks cinnamon dolce syrup.
Step 5: Add. Pour in 1 cup (237 milliliters) of milk.
Step 6: Serve. Top with whipped cream if desired, and serve immediately. Dust more cinnamon over the whipped cream, or sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of your coffee.
💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes
- I typically make my lattes with a strong cup of coffee, but you can use espresso for a more authentic beverage. In this case, I opted for the actual Starbucks cinnamon dolce coffee to start with.
- While milk is the standard for this drink, you can easily use your preferred non-dairy alternatives. Oat milk or almond milk would taste amazing!
- Enjoy your latte as-is, or top it with whipped cream and cinnamon sugar for a real treat.
- Adjust how much cinnamon dolce syrup you add to suit your tastes. For a sweeter drink, add more. If you want a stronger coffee flavor, use less.
- The copycat cinnamon dolce syrup is enough to make several coffee drinks.
- Add some ice to make this an iced latte.
