Scale

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup water
2 ounces hot espresso
1 ounce cinnamon dolce syrup
1 cup whole milk (frothed and hot)
2 tablespoons whipped cream (optional)
1 pinch ground cinnamon (for topping)
1 cinnamon stick (for garnish)

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, and water. Heat over medium heat until sugars dissolve fully, stirring occasionally.
Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
Brew 2 ounces of hot espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop method. Pour it into your favorite coffee mug.
Add 1 ounce of the prepared cinnamon dolce syrup to the brewed espresso. Stir well to combine flavors.
In a separate saucepan or using a frother, heat the whole milk until hot but not boiling. Froth it until you achieve a creamy texture with bubbles on top.
Pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture in your mug. Top with optional whipped cream if desired. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top and add a cinnamon stick for garnish.
