Ingredients
Scale
- 100 g (½ cup packed) dark brown sugar
- 120 ml (½ cup) water
- 1 tsp (2.6 g) ground cinnamon
- 480 ml (2 cups) freshly brewed coffee
- 240 ml (1 cup) whole milk
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine salt (1/8 tsp / 0.6 g)
Instructions
- Combine dark brown sugar, water, and ground cinnamon in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and simmer for about 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and fine salt. Let cool for 2 minutes.
- Brew 480 ml (2 cups) of coffee using 30 g (1.06 oz) of medium ground coffee and water. Taste and adjust coffee strength to your preference.

- Divide the syrup between two mugs. Pour brewed coffee into the mugs, leaving room for milk. Stir gently to combine.
- Add frothed milk on top of each mug. Add more syrup to taste and serve immediately with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
