Cinnamon Dolce Latte - Make this Easy Recipe At Home - Mighty Mamma (2024)

As a mom of two very busy little boys, I can tell you that I pretty much LIVE on coffee. Taking that first sip in the morning is one of the most satisfying moments of my day. I often even joke that I find all of my parenting skills in that little coffee cup. And if I become a stellar mom after an ordinary cup of coffee, I must become supermom after drinking a latte. But like a lot of busy moms I don’t always have the time (or budget) to stop for that $5.00 Starbucks cinnamon dolce latte. After all, January is the time when a lot of people are still suffering the financial pinch of the holiday spending hangover. So what better time to ditch the $5.00 coffee shop lattes and opt for a much less expensive but equally delicious homemade version.

You don’t have to be a barista to make this DIY homemade cinnamon dolce latte at home. It’s so easy to make and so delicious. Give it a try! I challenge you to say it’s not as satisfying as Starbucks!

Brew either 3/4 cup of strong coffee or 1/4 cup of espresso in a large cup. (I'm lucky because our new Keurig Elite coffee machine has a strong setting, which I find perfect for lattes). Depending on how sweet you like your lattes, add 1 - 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon dolce latte simple syrup to the coffee.
