Vanilla Cinnamon Latte Ingredients
- Espresso: This recipe starts with a single or double shot of espresso. Brew your favorite coffee using your preferred method (espresso machine, moka pot, drip coffee maker, or French press).

How to Make Vanilla Cinnamon Latte?
- Brew a strong shot of espresso using an espresso machine or Moka pot.
- Warm the milk in a small saucepan, but avoid boiling it. The milk should be heated to around 140-150°F.
- Pour the milk into the French press, filling it only halfway. Raise and lower the plunger rapidly until foam begins to form.
- Pour the espresso into a cup. Add cinnamon and vanilla syrup to the espresso and stir.
- Then, slowly start adding the foamy milk on top of the espresso.
- Finally, you can add a little whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.
