This easy homemade vanilla cinnamon latte blends sweet vanilla and warm cinnamon with creamy frothed milk and strong coffee for a cozy, café-style treat. Perfect for chilly mornings or anytime you want a comforting, flavorful coffee drink at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (240 ml) strong brewed coffee (medium or dark roast recommended)
  • 6 oz (180 ml) milk (whole, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) ground cinnamon
  • 1–2 tsp (5–10 ml) maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Extra cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brew 8 oz (240 ml) of strong coffee using your preferred method (French press, drip, or 2 shots of espresso).
  2. Pour 6 oz (180 ml) milk into a small saucepan and add a pinch of salt. Heat gently over medium heat until steaming but not boiling (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and froth the milk using a whisk or milk frother until airy and doubled in volume. (Alternatively, microwave milk for 60-90 seconds and froth.)
  4. Stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon to the hot milk. Add 1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey if desired. Whisk or stir until fully combined.
  5. Pour the brewed coffee into a mug. Slowly add the frothed milk mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon if you want to layer it. Spoon the foam on top.
  6. Top with whipped cream (optional) and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For dairy-free, use almond, oat, or soy milk—oat milk froths especially well. Adjust sweetness to taste or skip sweetener for a low-sugar version. For extra flavor, infuse milk with a cinnamon stick before frothing. If you don’t have a frother, whisk milk vigorously or shake in a heat-safe jar. Top with whipped cream and extra cinnamon for a café-style finish. Brew coffee and heat milk simultaneously to save time.
