Cinnamon Dolce Latte {Starbucks Copycat}
For years, my go-to Starbucks drink during the winter was a cinnamon dolce latte. I am a sucker for anything that is sweet with lots of cinnamon and this hit both marks! When I started experimenting with how to make cinnamon dolce lattes at home, I was surprised how easy it was to make the syrup from scratch. The whole drink is a breeze to make and the recipe makes a few servings of the cinnamon dolce syrup so you can make a few lattes with it. Just refrigerate any extra syrup until you are ready to use it next time!
Common questions about making a starbucks copycat cinnamon dolce latte
What is a cinnamon dolce latte?
A cinnamon dolce latte is a drink made with espresso, milk, and a sweet cinnamon syrup. Typically, you need to make the cinnamon dolce syrup yourself but it only takes a few minutes to whip up and it is made with just 5 ingredients – water, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
What does the cinnamon dolce latte taste like?
A cinnamon dolce latte tastes like a classic latte with undertones of cinnamon and brown sugar.
Does a cinnamon dolce latte have caffeine?
Yes, typically the espresso in a latte has caffeine but if that is a concern, you can use a decaf espresso (or strongly brewed decaf coffee).
What does cinnamon dolce mean?
Cinnamon dolce just means “sweet cinnamon”!
Can I make a latte without espresso?
Yes, so there are a few different options for ways to get close to espresso. The cheapest option would be to brew quite strong coffee in a normal coffee pot which won’t be exactly the same but it’ll work. If you have a moka pot or an aeropress coffee maker, those will get you pretty close to regular espresso. If you use the moka pot or espresso, follow the same proportions in the recipe but if you choose to go the strongly brewed coffee route, use 3/4 cups coffee and 1/2 cup milk.
