Cinnamon Vanilla Latte Recipe

I love me a good latte so coming up with a simple recipe was a lot of fun.  You can switch up the flavor by swapping the cinnamon and vanilla for a favorite flavor of yours like chai, pumpkin spice, and even apple pie.

Cinnamon Vanilla Latte Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon (or to your liking)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup milk
• 1 shot espresso

Cinnamon Vanilla Latte Instructions

1. Boil water, sugar, and cinnamon in small saucepan over high heat for one minute, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.  Set the cinnamon vanilla syrup aside.

2.  Make 1 shot of espresso in desired mug or glass, if you prefer stronger lattes make more!

3.  Add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon vanilla syrup to the espresso.

Quick tip – The cinnamon vanilla syrup can be refrigerated and used for up to one month.  The syrup flavor is simple to change by adding different spices to the simple syrup when preparing.  Now you can make your favorite latte's at home for a fraction of the cost.

4.  Steam milk, once at desired temperature add to your prepared mug and top with a dusting of cinnamon. Enjoy!

I love how the De'Longhi Pump Espresso looks sleek and stylish plus stores compactly in the kitchen.  The 3-in-1 filter holder included with the unit offers a filter for one espresso, two shot espresso, and an Easy Serve Espresso (ESE) pod.  The removable water tank makes refilling the machine mess-free and straightforward!

A few of my favorite flavor combinations include:

• mocha – one shot of espresso, steamed milk and chocolate sauce topped with whipped cream
• apple pie latte – use apple pie seasoning in the simple syrup
• chai latte – use strong steeped chai tea in place of the water and seasoning in the simple syrup recipe, boil with sugar to perfection add to your latte to fit your taste preferences

Enjoy your next homemade cinnamon vanilla latte with some powdered sugar mini donuts!
