Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Add the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar to the hot milk, whisking until well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
- Using a frother or whisk, froth the milk until it becomes creamy and foamy. This will create a delightful texture for your latte.
- In a separate mug, pour the shot of espresso or strong brewed coffee.
- Slowly pour the frothed milk over the coffee, using a spoon to hold back the foam, allowing the milk to blend smoothly with the coffee.
- Top the latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a sweet finish.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Churro Latte!
Tips
- For an extra indulgent treat, try adding a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top of the whipped cream.
- If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the amount of ground cinnamon to 3/4 teaspoon.
