Ingredients

  • 1 cup brewed coffee or 1–2 shots espresso cooled (French press works too, about 2 tbsp ground coffee)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant milk you like
  • 1–2 tablespoons carob syrup or maple syrup or honey if you don't mind the recipe not being vegan
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus extra for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional topping: coconut whipped cream or regular whipped cream if dairy isn’t an issue

Instructions

Brew the coffee

  • Brew your coffee or espresso and let it cool. If using a French press, let the grounds bloom with a splash of hot water before filling - it gives a richer flavor.
  • Cold brew concentrate works beautifully here too, especially if you want a smoother, less bitter base.

Mix the flavors

  • In a glass, whisk the cinnamon and sweetener into the warm coffee first. This keeps the cinnamon from clumping and helps the sweetener blend properly (especially honey, which stiffens in cold liquids).
  • Once mixed, let it cool slightly if needed.

Assemble the latte

  • Fill a tall glass with fresh ice cubes. For a stronger drink that won’t dilute, try freezing leftover coffee into ice cubes.
  • Pour the cinnamon coffee mixture over the ice. Add almond milk and vanilla, then stir well.

Top it off

  • Add a dollop of coconut whipped cream if you like, then dust lightly with extra cinnamon.
  • Want it to feel extra coffeehouse-style? Drizzle a little syrup on top before the cinnamon garnish.

Enjoy immediately

  • Sip and adjust sweetness to your taste. Pair it with a biscotti, an almond cookie, or a slice of pumpkin bread for the full cozy vibe.

Notes

  • For meal prep, shake everything (except the ice) in a mason jar and refrigerate. When you’re ready, just pour over fresh ice and enjoy.
  • For extra froth, use a handheld milk frother with the almond milk before adding it to the glass.
