Ingredients
-
1 shot (1 oz) espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee)

½ cup milk (whole, oat, or almond all work beautifully)

1 tbsp caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
-
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
-
1 tsp sugar or honey (optional, adjust to taste)
-
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions

Brew the base

Pull a fresh shot of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, brew half a cup of very strong coffee.
-
-
Mix in caramel and spice
-
Stir in the caramel sauce and ground cinnamon directly into the hot espresso until fully blended.
-
-
Steam the milk

Froth or steam the milk until velvety and airy. If you don’t have a frother, heat the milk and whisk vigorously until foamy.

Pour the frothed milk over the caramel-cinnamon espresso base.

Finish

Top with whipped cream (optional), drizzle with extra caramel, and dust lightly with cinnamon.

Pro Tips
-
For a stronger flavor, add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel before stirring. It creates a salted caramel cinnamon cappuccino.
-
Swap whipped cream with a sprinkle of nutmeg for a lighter finish.
-
Try oat milk for an extra-creamy texture and natural sweetness.
