Cinnamon Dolce Latte Recipe

The recipe

Exact quantities, then the method.

A cinnamon dolce latte is all about the cinnamon, so this version infuses a real cinnamon stick into the milk rather than relying on the powder alone. Make the sachet strong with a little hot water, warm the milk with a cinnamon stick to draw out the spice, froth it and pour it over.

You'll need

1 Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte sachet (24g)
100ml freshly drawn water, brought to a rolling boil then left for 1 minute to drop to about 90C
150ml whole milk
1 cinnamon stick (about 4cm), for the milk infusion
1 generous swirl of squirty cream
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, for the heavy dust
1 teaspoon of caramel sauce, for the drizzle
1 warmed 350ml mug
1 small saucepan
1 small balloon whisk
1 small handheld milk frother

Method

Warm a mug with hot water and tip it out.
Empty the sachet into the mug, add 100ml of hot water at around 90C and whisk into a strong base.
Warm the milk in a small pan with a cinnamon stick until it just steams, so the spice infuses, then lift the stick out.
Froth the milk into a thick foam and pour it over the coffee base.
Top with cream, a good dusting of cinnamon and a drizzle of caramel.
Give the cinnamon stick a few minutes in the warming milk; gentle heat draws far more flavour out than the powder alone.

What you'll end up with: A warming cinnamon latte with a strong coffee base under cinnamon-infused frothed milk, finished with cream, cinnamon and caramel. Cosy and properly spiced.
