Black Sugar Cinnamon Latte: Warm, Spiced, and Deeply Aromatic

This latte blends the rich depth of black sugar with warm cinnamon spice—creating a smooth, cozy drink that feels like a hug in a cup.

Ingredients

  • Brown sugar powder – 10g
  • Coffee beans – 18g
  • Milk – 200ml
  • Ground cinnamon – A small amount

How to Make It

Step 1: Sweeten the Base

Add 10g of brown sugar powder to the bottom of your serving cup.

Step 2: Brew the Espresso

Grind 18g of coffee beans using a coffee grinder, tamp firmly in a double cup portafilter, and extract a 36g shot of espresso. Pour it directly over the brown sugar to melt and infuse the flavor.

Step 3: Steam and Pour the Milk

Froth 200ml of milk and slowly pour it into the cup to mix gently with the sugar-espresso base.

Step 4: Add a Spiced Finish

Sprinkle a small amount of ground cinnamon over the top for a warm, fragrant finish.

Why It Works So Well

  • Rich and layered – The molasses-like sweetness of brown sugar balances beautifully with the espresso.
