What Kind of Espresso or Coffee Should I Use?

For best results, use a strong espresso shot made with an espresso machine, Nespresso, or Moka pot. If you don’t have one, a very strong brewed coffee using a French press or AeroPress will still give you a rich base. Look for medium to dark roast beans for maximum depth of flavor—bonus points if they have notes of chocolate or caramel.

How To Make the Cinnamon Brown Sugar Latte

Step 1: Brew Your Espresso or Coffee

Brew a double shot of espresso or ½ cup of strong coffee. Set it aside while you warm the milk.

Step 2: Heat and Froth the Milk

In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 cup of milk. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. If you have a milk frother, froth the mixture until foamy. If not, you can whisk vigorously or shake it in a mason jar (lid on!) after heating.

Step 3: Combine and Pour

Pour your brewed coffee into your favorite mug. Slowly add the warm, spiced milk mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once poured, spoon the foam on top.

Step 4: Garnish and Enjoy

Optional but highly recommended: sprinkle a little cinnamon on top or add a dollop of whipped cream. Sip slowly and smile.
