Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 3 tablespoons (45 grams) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon (2.5 grams) ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk or cream (heavy cream, whole milk, or oat milk)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes (as needed)
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: maple syrup or honey as sweetener alternative

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 ½ cups (360 ml) of strong coffee using medium or dark roast. Let it cool to room temperature or chill for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ cup (60 ml) of brewed coffee. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture is fragrant (3-4 minutes). Avoid boiling.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Let syrup cool slightly.
  4. Fill a tall glass with 1 to 1 ½ cups (240-360 ml) of ice cubes.
  5. Pour about 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) of cooled brewed coffee over the ice, then add the brown sugar cinnamon syrup. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Slowly pour in ½ cup (120 ml) milk, cream, or preferred dairy alternative. Stir gently to blend. Optionally, froth milk before adding for a café-style finish.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon as desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Dissolve brown sugar in warm coffee to avoid graininess. Use cold brew concentrate for a smoother taste. Freeze leftover coffee in ice trays to prevent dilution. Adjust milk type for creaminess or dairy-free needs. Reheat syrup gently if thickened.
