This DIY homemade cinnamon dolce latte is so easy to make and is so delicious, I challenge you to say it's not as satisfying as Starbucks!
In a small pot add together the water and cinnamon sticks.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
Strain out cinnamon sticks and any smaller cinnamon stick pieces that might have broken off during boiling. Bring water back to a boil, add sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Store the cinnamon dolce latte syrup in a sealed glass bottle in a refrigerator. When refrigerated it should keep for up to 1 month.
Brew either 3/4 cup of strong coffee or 1/4 cup of espresso in a large cup. (I'm lucky because our new Keurig Elite coffee machine has a strong setting, which I find perfect for lattes). Depending on how sweet you like your lattes, add 1 - 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon dolce latte simple syrup to the coffee.
heat milk in either a small pot on the stove or in the microwave for a minute or two. Make sure that the milk does not come to a boil. Froth milk (I use a handheld milk frother as pictured below and I find it works great!) Add frothed milk to coffee.
Sprinkle with powdered cinnamon as a garnish if you wish and enjoy!
