Easy Homemade Cinnamon Swirl Latte

Winter is the best time of year to indulge in a variety of hot drinks.

Hot chocolate might be the first thing that comes to mind for most people, but there is one beverage that I’d encourage you to try – cinnamon swirl latte.

My homemade cinnamon swirl latte is aromatic, hot and spicy, the perfect solution to warm up on a cold winter morning.

In addition to fighting the chill, cinnamon swirl latte is also packed with a bundle of health benefits.

According to Dr. Axe, cinnamon has 13 health benefits.

It has a high source of antioxidant, contains anti-inflammatory properties, protects heart health, helps fight diabetes, protects brain function and much more. I’m not a health professional, but these health benefits sound good to me.

Cinnamon Swirl Latte Ingredients

How to Make a Cinnamon Swirl Latte

Step 1

Mix ground cinnamon and ground coffee together and place in the filter basket.

Brew 2 ounces of cinnamon infused espresso with an espresso machine, or any other brewing methods. Set it aside.

You can opt for a strong coffee using other brewing methods such as a moka pot, French press, and Aeropress if you don’t have an espresso machine at home. You’ll get equally delicious espresso using these methods.

For additional information on how to use a Moka pot, French press and Aeropress is available on our blog.

Step 2

Mix condensed milk with regular milk and place in a frothing pitcher.

If you don’t have a steam wand, use a handheld milk frother or even a mason jar.

Read an article I wrote about how to make latte art without coffee machines. In the article, I demonstrate how to use a mason jar (or an empty pasta sauce jar), French press or a handheld milk frother to froth warm milk.

Step 3

Froth the mixture until the temperature reaches 160 to 170°F. Then pour frothed milk into a preheated glass or cup.

Step 4

Swirl in the cinnamon infused espresso.

Step 5

Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for added flavor. Stir lightly with a cinnamon stick.
