Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 shots hot espresso
  • 1 cup whole milk

Instructions:

  1. In the bottom of your mug, combine the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir these together until the cinnamon is fully incorporated.
  2. Prepare your espresso or strong coffee. Pour the hot liquid directly over your maple cinnamon mixture and stir vigorously until the syrup is fully dissolved.
  3. Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave until steaming but not boiling. Use a handheld frother for 15–30 seconds until a thick layer of velvety foam forms.
  4. Slowly pour the steamed milk into your coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon until the mug is nearly full. Gently dollop the remaining foam on top and garnish with a cinnamon stick or a dusting of cinnamon.
