Recipe: Maple Cinnamon Latte

The leaves are starting to change and the air is getting crisp (at least for me, your friendly neighborhood blog editor living in the Northeast United States), and I’m looking for the perfect new spiced latte to curl up with this autumn.

My choice? A maple cinnamon latte. Cinnamon gives the impression of sweetness without any actual calories, so just a touch of syrup is enough to make this a decadent-tasting but healthy-ish fall treat, and the warming spice is cozy way to welcome in the new season.

Of course, no matter the recipe, any drink you find here will have perfect foam that’s the ideas canvas for a Ripple print. Our designers have been hard at work with squirrels, leaf-motifs, and adorable illustrations I’ve completely”Fall”en in love with.

  • Ripple Maker

Ingredients

  • Whole Milk

Instructions

Prepare Infusion

  • Pre-mix a cinnamon infusion by adding ground cinnamon to your milk in a large container. For every liter of milk, stir in 5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Store this in the refrigerator and shake well before use.

Brew Espresso

  • Pull a double shot of espresso into a 5 or 8 oz cup

Steam the Milk

  • Use the espresso machine's steamer to heat the cinnamon-infused milk to between 150°F and 155°F (65°C-68°C), ensuring it's hot but not scalded, with a velvety foam.

Assemble the Latte

  • Pour the steamed cinnamon milk into the espresso. Adjust your pour to create a creamy white top. Fill mug to the brim.

Garnish with your Ripple Maker Drink Printer
