Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or oat milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1-2 tsp maple syrup (optional sweetener)

Method
 

  1. Brew your coffee or pull a shot of espresso and set aside.
  2. Combine the milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a small saucepan over low heat.
  3. Heat the mixture until just steaming, whisking constantly to ensure the cinnamon is well incorporated.
  4. Froth the warm milk mixture using a handheld frother or by shaking vigorously in a sealed mason jar for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour the brewed coffee into a pre-warmed mug.
  6. Stir in your preferred sweetener until fully dissolved.
  7. Pour the spiced, frothed milk gently over the coffee and serve immediately.

Notes

Use Ceylon cinnamon for a smoother, naturally sweeter flavor profile. If using a mason jar for frothing, be careful as the milk will be hot; wrap the jar in a towel. For a dairy-free option, oat milk froths and steams most similarly to cow's milk.
