Cinnamon bun latte
Embrace the change into Autumn with this delicious Cinnamon bun latte recipe.
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 10 mins
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 100ml (3½fl oz) double cream
- 1-2 shots (30-60ml/1-2fl oz) freshly brewed espresso coffee
- 300ml (10½fl oz) Milk of your choice
- ground sweet cinnamon, to dust
- 1 tbsp dark soft brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground sweet cinnamon
- 2 tsp butter
Method
Step 1
Make the cinnamon bun syrup first, as it needs to cool before use. Heat the brown sugar, cinnamon and butter with 1 tbsp water in a saucepan over a gentle heat until you have a smooth thin syrup and the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
When you are ready to serve, whip the cream with a third of the syrup until it forms soft peaks. Pour another third of the syrup into a cup or heatproof glass and pour over the hot coffee. Stir.
Step 3
Steam or froth the milk until hot and foamy and pour over the coffee. Top with the whipped cinnamon bun cream, dust with a little cinnamon, drizzle over the remaining third of the syrup and serve immediately.
