Ingredients
- 4 ounces Espresso/Coffee
- 4 oounces Milk
- Ice Cubes
- 2 Tablespoons Orange Cinnamon Syrup
Orange Cinnamon Syrup
- 0.25 cup Sugar (I use Pure Cane Sugar)
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 (peel & juice) Orange
- 1 Cinnamon Stick
Directions
Sweet and luscious orange ice latte.
Let’s level up the standard iced latte with an orange cinnamon syrup!
Though this may sound complicated, making a homemade syrup is fairly easy and takes just a few minutes.
Adding both the peel and the juice or the orange helps elevate that orange flavor which pairs so well with espresso or coffee.
I love using leftover coffee for this drink but espresso shots or even instant coffee works really well.
You can use any milk for this iced latte. Since the orange cinnamon syrup, it’s best to go with an unsweetened milk.
I use my homemade almond milk for this drink but you can also use oat milk, soy milk, regular milk or even half and half.
Steps
