Tips for Making the Best Iced Cinnamon Roll Latte

Dissolve the brown sugar first. Adding the brown sugar to hot espresso helps it dissolve completely so you don’t end up with gritty sugar at the bottom of your glass.

Use your favorite milk. Whole milk creates a rich, creamy latte, but 2%, oat milk or almond milk work well too.

Adjust the sweetness. If you love a sweeter coffeehouse-style latte, add another teaspoon of brown sugar.

Don’t worry if the cinnamon settles. Ground cinnamon doesn’t fully dissolve in coffee, so give your latte another stir before drinking.

Make it extra creamy. A tablespoon of heavy cream adds richness without needing whipped cream or a special topping.

Can I Make This Without an Espresso Machine?

Absolutely! If you don’t have an espresso machine, substitute ¼ cup of strongly brewed coffee or cold brew concentrate. The flavor will be slightly different, but you’ll still have a delicious homemade iced cinnamon latte.

Can I Make This Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can prepare the espresso, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it in a covered container for up to 2 days.

When you’re ready to enjoy your latte, simply fill a glass with ice, add your milk and pour the chilled coffee mixture over the top.
