Buying advice
1 double shot + 8-10 oz milk + 1 tsp cinnamon + brown sugar. Stir ground cinnamon and brown sugar into the pulled shot, steam milk with a cinnamon stick for extra aroma, pour, and dust the top with more cinnamon. Pro tip: Steaming the milk with a cinnamon stick (or adding cinnamon to the pitcher) infuses flavor without grittiness.
FAQ
Cinnamon in the shot or the milk?
Both works — stir it into the shot for even distribution, and add a stick to the milk pitcher for aroma.
Does cinnamon make it bitter?
A little goes a long way — 1 tsp total is plenty. Too much ground cinnamon gets dusty and bitter.
What sweetener pairs best?
Brown sugar — its molasses notes complement cinnamon. Honey is a good second choice.
