Holiday Mint Latte Recipe
A warm, sweet Cinnamon Dolce Latte made with brown sugar, cinnamon, and smooth espresso. The spices melt into silky steamed milk to create a cozy, bakery-style winter drink. Perfect for slow mornings, holiday rituals, or anytime you want something comforting and sweet without being heavy.
- 2 Shots espresso or 3–4 oz strong brewed coffee
- 1 Cup milk
- ½–1 Tsp peppermint extract (go light—you can always add more)
- 1 - 2 Tbsp simple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- Optional: whipped cream or cocoa dusting
Add simple syrup and a tiny amount of peppermint extract to your mug.
Brew your espresso or coffee and pour it over the mixture.
Stir until the flavors blend into a smooth base.
Steam or heat your milk until silky, then pour it slowly into the mug.
Taste and adjust—add more mint only if needed.
Top with whipped cream or cocoa if you want it dessert-leaning.
Notes
-
A drop of peppermint goes a long way—add it slowly.
-
Use oat milk for a naturally sweet, creamy finish.
-
For an iced version, shake the mint with cold milk before combining with espresso.
-
Add chocolate syrup for a Mint Mocha twist.
