Ingredients
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 shot espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons carob syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Spices
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish (optional)
Others
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Cinnamon stick, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Brew and cool coffee: Brew a shot of espresso or ½ cup of strong brewed coffee. Allow it to cool completely to avoid melting the ice and diluting the latte.
- Prepare glass with ice: Fill a tall glass fully with ice cubes to ensure the drink is chilled properly.
- Combine coffee and carob syrup: Pour the cooled coffee and 2 tablespoons of carob syrup into the glass. Stir well until the syrup is fully dissolved and evenly mixed.
- Add milk and spices: Pour in 1 cup of your choice of milk and add ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon along with ½ teaspoon vanilla extract if desired for extra flavor.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir the latte well to combine all ingredients. Alternatively, you can shake everything together in a cocktail shaker before pouring over the ice to create a creamier texture and froth.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top and garnish with a cinnamon stick if you like for added aroma and visual appeal. Serve immediately while cold and enjoy your refreshing iced cinnamon latte with carob syrup.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of carob syrup to match your preferred sweetness level.
- Using oat milk enhances the creaminess of the latte.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use a double shot of espresso.
- You can blend the mixture with ice for a frozen latte version.
- Store any leftover brewed coffee in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
