A quick and easy iced latte featuring a rich, caramel-like brown sugar cinnamon syrup combined with creamy milk and espresso or strong coffee. Perfect for a cozy, indulgent coffee treat without any fancy barista skills.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar (light or dark, softly packed preferred)
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 2 shots (about 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk or milk alternative (whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the brown sugar cinnamon syrup: In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, water, and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely with the cinnamon sticks still steeping for maximum flavor.
  3. Prepare your coffee: Brew 2 shots (about 60 ml) of espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) of strong coffee. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Assemble the iced latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the cooled coffee, then add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of milk or milk alternative.
  5. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of the brown sugar cinnamon syrup (adjust to taste).
  6. Optional: Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  7. Stir well until creamy and chilled throughout. Taste and add more syrup if desired.
  8. Store leftover syrup in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Warm slightly before using if it thickens.

Notes

Use fresh cinnamon sticks for best flavor. Adjust syrup sweetness gradually. Syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and coconut sugar. Cold milk keeps the drink refreshing; warming milk slightly can enhance creaminess but avoid scalding.
