Cinnamon iced latte

Iced coffee is more than cold coffee: it's a dessert drink where coffee bitterness, milk sweetness, and cinnamon spiciness meet. Cinnamon not only flavours but also creates a natural sensation of sweetness, so the overall effect is harmonious with less sugar. The secret is to mix the spice into the warm coffee to release its essential oils.

Instructions

1

Brew the coffee and immediately stir in the sugar and ground cinnamon.

Tip: In hot liquid, cinnamon aromas 'open up', and sugar dissolves completely.
2

Fill the glass with ice, pour over the cold milk.

Tip: Preparing ice and milk prevents the hot coffee from melting the ice and watering down the drink.
3

Slowly pour the spicy coffee into the milk.

Tip: If you pour carefully, the drink will be beautifully layered (marbled effect), which is visually appealing.
4

Decorate with whipped cream and extra cinnamon.

Tip: The fat content of whipped cream further enriches the taste experience and counterbalances the acidity of the coffee.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the cinnamon floating on top?
Cinnamon powder is hydrophobic (repels water), so it's hard to mix into cold liquid. Always stir it into hot coffee first!
