Ingredients
Gather your ingredients
To make this latte, you will need one cup of oat milk, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, one tablespoon of sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup, half a cup of brewed coffee or espresso, and ice cubes if you prefer it cold. These simple ingredients come together to create a balanced flavor profile that is both comforting and energizing.
Brewing
Brew your coffee
Start by brewing half a cup of coffee or espresso. If you want to save time in the morning, you can brew your coffee the night before and store it in the refrigerator. This way, you can quickly assemble your latte without any delay. The choice between regular coffee or espresso depends on how strong you want your drink to be.
Mixing
Mix oat milk and cinnamon
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine one cup of oat milk with one teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir continuously until the mixture is warm but not boiling. If you like it sweeter, add one tablespoon of honey or maple syrup at this stage. This step infuses the oat milk with cinnamon flavor while keeping it creamy.
Combining
Combine all elements
Once your oat milk mixture is ready, pour it over your brewed coffee or espresso in a large mug or glass. Stir well to combine all elements evenly. If you like it hot, skip this step; otherwise, add ice cubes now for an iced version.
Serving tips
Serve and enjoy
Your cinnamon oat milk latte is now ready to be enjoyed! For an extra touch, sprinkle some additional ground cinnamon on top before serving. This not only enhances presentation, but also boosts aroma as you sip through layers of flavor from start to finish.
