Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (950ml) strong brewed coffee or espresso
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups (480ml) whole milk
  • 3 tbsp (21g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Brew coffee as usual, stirring 1/2 tsp of cinnamon directly into the dry coffee grounds before adding water to maximize infusion.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine whole milk, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
  3. Whisk constantly until the mixture is steaming and the sugar has completely dissolved, simmering until the mixture looks glossy.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly pour the chocolate milk mixture into the brewed coffee.
  6. Use a handheld frother for 15 seconds to create a light layer of foam, then top with whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon dusting.
