Cinnamon Dolce Latte

A cinnamon latte made properly: the sachet topped with milk infused with a real cinnamon stick, then cream, cinnamon and a caramel drizzle.

Cinnamon Dolce Latte

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

  1. Warm a mug with hot water and tip it out.
  2. Empty the sachet into the mug, add 100ml of hot water at around 90C and whisk into a strong base.
  3. Warm the milk in a small pan with a cinnamon stick until it just steams, so the spice infuses, then lift the stick out.
  4. Froth the milk into a thick foam and pour it over the coffee base.
  5. Top with cream, a good dusting of cinnamon and a drizzle of caramel.
  6. 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.
