One of the key ingredients is the Belgian cookie syrup or cookie butter, which adds a rich, buttery sweetness that perfectly complements the spicy cinnamon roll syrup. When you brew your espresso with these syrups, it infuses the coffee with those delicious notes, creating a well-balanced flavor base.
Using a double shot of espresso ensures the drink has enough coffee strength to stand up against the sweetness and creaminess. I personally like using 8 ounces of milk—whether it’s whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk—adjusting based on how creamy or light you prefer your latte.
The cold foam topping is a standout for me. Mixing heavy cream with cinnamon roll syrup and a dash of ground cinnamon makes the foam luscious and aromatic. Frothing it to your desired consistency adds a perfect fluffy layer that contrasts beautifully with the iced latte beneath.
For garnishing, lining the cup with caramel sauce before adding ice gives a nice sticky sweetness that accentuates the cookie and cinnamon flavors. Topping everything with McCormick cinnamon roll finishing sugar adds a delicate crunch and an extra burst of cinnamon aroma.
This homemade iced latte is perfect for a relaxing afternoon or as a special treat to impress friends who love flavored coffee drinks. Plus, tweaking the syrup amounts allows you to customize sweetness just how you like it. For those who enjoy seasonal or unique coffee house flavors, trying out different combinations of cookie syrups or experimenting with plant-based milks can provide delightful variations.
Overall, this recipe is easy to make at home with just a few ingredients and can rival many coffee shop specialty lattes. Be sure to enjoy it fresh to experience the full range of creamy, spicy, and sweet flavors in every sip.
