about this Cinnamon Dolce Latte Recipe

I love this homemade cinnamon dolce latte so much! It only requires 4 ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry! Cinnamon Dolce simply means ‘cinnamon sweet’. So think cinnamon sugar toast topping; yes that addicting sprinkle you would slather onto a buttered piece of toast! That is where my mind drifts off to when I sip this copycat cinnamon dolce latte recipe.

I’ve recreated it at home with better-for-you ingredients and for a whole a lot cheaper! I am talking pennies! 

Homemade Cinnamon Dolce Latte Recipe is the best way to sip a coffeehouse favorite from the comfort of your own home! Made lighter with coconut sugar, homemade cinnamon syrup, and milk!

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe:

  • Coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • Cinnamon
  • Coffee
  • Milk of choice

how to make a cinnamon dolce latte like starbucks?

  1. Start by making your cinnamon sugar simple syrup. In a small sauce pan, bring the water, sugar, and cinnamon to a boil. Let boil for 2 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Next, brew a double strength cup of coffee. Use twice the amount of ground coffee per water. 
  3. While the coffee brews, add milk to a saucepan and warm or microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, or until desired warmth. Froth milk once warm with a handheld frother or by adding milk to a blender and blending on high.
  4. In 2 coffee mugs, add 1 tablespoon cinnamon syrup, then divide the coffee and milk between both, finishing with the foam on top.
  5. For a special finish, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar!

Can you make a big batch of this Cinnamon Dolce Latte Recipe

Yes! You can make a double or trip batch of the syrup and store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 weeks. I would suggest brewing the coffee and frothing the milk fresh as it tastes best then.

For today’s homemade cinnamon dolce latte, I used Folgers Perfect Measures. (NOTE: Folgers Perfect Measures are no longer sold so please follow directions above to make double-strength coffee.) They are genius for people like me, I can never get my cup of coffee justtttt right. These premeasured tabs are the perfect scoop without the scoop. They are 100% pure ground coffee, so you can brew your perfect pot every time. If you crave a stronger cup, add one or two more tabs or if you are like me and enjoy a lighter cup of coffee, then I would use fewer. It creates the ultimate customization when creating drinks such as this cinnamon dolce coffee recipe!

      Hi, Daniela! You can store it in a sealed container on your counter or in the fridge! Just shake before hand as it may separate when cold. But it's no big deal especially since it will all dissolve again when heated :) Enjoy!!

      You can use any coffee, espresso will lend the most authentic latte flavor. If you do, just make sure you make a stronger brew!

    Is the amount of cinnamon listed in the recipe correct? When I watch the video it looks like you are adding more than an 1/8 of a teaspoon. Maybe more like a teaspoon to tablespoon?

      Yes, it is correct but feel free to add more cinnamon to your liking.

    I tried making this today (per your instructions), but used organic cane sugar instead of coconut sugar for the simple syrup. It turned out really good! I did end up adding 2 TBL of the simple syrup into my coffee because I couldn’t taste the sweet cinnamon flavor at all with just one. It was the perfect amount for me- not too sweet! Thanks for the recipe! Its a perfect fall treat! Will definitely be making this again! 👍☕️

    Finally! A recipe where the cinnamon dissolves. I had made another and it just floats. I kind of improvised because I didn’t use a k cup and the instructions on the espresso says 1 tbsp for a cup. I was a bit confused but nevertheless it came out good! This recipe is bookmarked.
