What You’ll Need

Here’s everything I use to make this at home:

How to Make a Maple Cinnamon Latte

1. Brew the espresso

Brew 2 shots of espresso into your favorite mug or glass.

2. Add the maple and cinnamon

Stir in the maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract while the espresso is still hot.

3. Froth the milk

Heat ¾ cup of milk until warm, then froth until creamy and smooth.

4. Combine

Slowly pour the warm frothed milk over the espresso mixture.

5. Make it pretty

Dust with a little cinnamon on top and add a light drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy! ☕

How to Make It Iced

This recipe is just as good cold! Brew your espresso and stir in the maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla. Let it cool slightly, then pour over a glass of ice and top with cold frothed milk.

Perfect for those warm fall days when you want the flavor without the heat.

Easy Ways to Customize It

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this without an espresso machine?

Yes! Substitute the espresso with strongly brewed coffee or moka pot coffee. It won’t be quite the same, but it’s still delicious.

What milk is best?

Whole milk creates the richest, creamiest foam. Oat milk is the best dairy-free option — it froths beautifully and has a slightly sweet flavor.

Can I use regular pancake syrup?

You can, but I recommend pure maple syrup for the best flavor. The difference is noticeable!

Can I make this ahead of time?

It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the maple-cinnamon mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge.
