Cinnamon Dolce Latte: For When Your Coffee Needs a Sweet Promotion

Your morning coffee deserves a promotion. Swap the “basic” badge for a “fancy” pin with this Cinnamon Dolce Latte. It’s cheaper than a coffee shop, and you won’t have to spell your name for a barista. (No offense, “K-A-T-H-E-R-Y-N-E”.)

Ingredients (Makes 1 Cup of Confidence):

Tools You’ll Need:

A small saucepan, a whisk (or fork in a hurry), and a mug big enough to hold your hopes for the day.

Instructions:

  1. Sweeten the Deal: Dump the brown sugar and cinnamon into the saucepan. Add milk. Heat on medium until warm—think “hot tub for your fingers,” not “lava explosion.” Stir until the sugar dissolves. Pretend you’re a wizard. “Abracadabra, clumps disappear-a!”
  2. Brew the Go-Juice: Make the espresso or coffee. Pour it into your mug. Give the mug a stern look if your coffee maker hesitated.
  3. Milk Mixology: Pour the cinnamon-sugar milk into the coffee. Add vanilla. Stir slowly, like you’re persuading a toddler to take a nap.
  4. Top It Off: Plop whipped cream on top. Dust with cinnamon. Congratulations, you’ve just upgraded your coffee from “meh” to “more, please.”

Bonus Wisdom:
