Description
A creamy, cozy latte that blends espresso, brown sugar, cinnamon, and milk into a dessert-like drink inspired by classic snickerdoodle cookies. Perfect for mornings or relaxing afternoons.
Ingredients
1/2 cup hot strong brewed coffee or 2 shots of espresso
1–2 tablespoons brown sugar, to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1 cup whole milk
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Pour the espresso or strong brewed coffee into a large mug and set aside.
2. Add the brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and milk into a 16 oz mason jar. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for one minute.
3. Remove the lid and microwave the mixture for 30 seconds to help the foam rise and stabilize.
4. Pour the warm, sweetened milk into the coffee and spoon the foam on top.
5. Combine 3/4 teaspoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir to mix and sprinkle over the foam before serving.
Notes
FROTHER METHOD: Add brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and milk into a 16 oz mason jar. Heat for 30 seconds in the microwave, then froth with a milk frother for about 20 seconds until foamy.
To store: Keep the sweetened milk mixture (without coffee) in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat and shake before using.
For an iced version: Chill the milk mixture and pour over cold brew or iced espresso, then top with cinnamon sugar.
