Print Recipe

A refreshing and creamy iced latte featuring a homemade brown sugar cinnamon syrup that balances sweet and spice, perfect for a cozy yet cold coffee treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (60 ml) espresso or ½ cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • ¼ cup (50 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (120 ml) water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk or milk alternative (whole milk, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ cup water. Stir to combine.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. While the syrup simmers, prepare 2 shots (60 ml) of espresso or ½ cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee. Set aside to cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge.
  4. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the cooled espresso, then add 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) of the brown sugar cinnamon syrup, adjusting to taste.
  5. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of milk or milk alternative over the coffee and syrup mixture. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract if desired.
  6. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more syrup or milk as preferred.
  8. Enjoy immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Chill coffee before assembling to avoid dilution. Warm syrup slightly if it thickens too much after cooling. For frothier milk, shake milk vigorously in a jar before adding. Adjust syrup sweetness to taste. Fresh ground cinnamon is recommended for best flavor.
