Why This Recipe Works
- It's easy to make. You don't need a lot of coffee-making experience to pull this recipe together. With these easy-to-follow steps, you can have a "fancy" coffee drink with minimal effort.
- Simple ingredients. If you have coffee, cereal, and whipped cream, you're already halfway there. This recipe requires very little to pull together a fun drink experience.
- Cheaper than going to a coffee shop. While there's nothing wrong with Starbucks and other coffee shops, you have to admit the cost of a simple coffee is often extreme. Making your own brew at home is far cheaper.

🥘 Ingredients
For the cinnamon simple syrup, you will need
Water- This is the base of the syrup and will dissolve the sugar.
Sugar- To make the syrup thicker and sweet.
Cinnamon- For added warm spice flavor.
For the Latte, you will need:
Coffee- You will need some freshly brewed or chilled coffee. Chilled coffee works best for an iced coffee variation, but warm coffee can be used for either.
Milk- Add in some milk to help mask the bitterness in the coffee and to make this drink more velvety smooth.
Cinnamon simple syrup- You will need some of the cinnamon syrup that you make, but you will not need to use all of it. This means you can have some on hand for your next coffee drink or two.
Whipped cream- Added for garnish and for helping to hold the cinnamon cereal out of the coffee.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch- Adding cereal pieces to the top of this drink makes it look fun and helps to highlight the cinnamon flavors we have going on inside our mug.
Ice- This is optional and ONLY if you want a chilled drink. Omit it for a warm beverage.

🍴 Recipe Tips
This cinnamon toast crunch latte recipe is perfect for making a single cup at a time, but feel free to double or even triple it as needed.
You can adjust the milk to coffee ratio if desired, I like my coffee to milk at 2:1 in my drinks, but a traditional latte is actually 1:3 espresso to milk. So depending on the strength of your coffee, you may wish to add less coffee and use more milk.
I use regular Colombian or Arabica medium roast brewed coffee. I don't use espresso.
⏲️ Make Ahead Instructions
You can prepare the cinnamon syrup up to 2 weeks in advance and keep it stored in an airtight container in the fridge. A small mason jar would be an ideal storage idea.
💭 FAQs
Whole dairy milk will yield better results because it has more fat than other milks. It will help to hide the bitterness of the coffee and give a better texture than a lesser-fat milk or milk alternative.
If you want to froth your milk and don't have the tools to do it, simply add the milk to a small saucepan and heat it until simmering. Whisk the milk like crazy to create bubbles and foam. Use as desired.
If you find that your drink is bitter, you can add in more milk to help counter the bitterness.
