Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 oz hot espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup milk (whole, oat, or almond)
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus more for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your mug by filling it with hot water. Brew espresso or strong coffee. Add ground cinnamon to the bottom of the warm mug. Pour hot espresso over cinnamon and swirl gently for 10 seconds.
  • Heat and froth milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling (about 150°F). Use a frother to create thick foam. Alternatively, shake hot milk in a Mason jar for 30 seconds, then microwave for 30 seconds.
  • Pour vanilla syrup into the bottom of the mug over the cinnamon-coffee mixture. Gently pour frothed milk down the side of the mug to create a gradient. Reserve a few spoonfuls of thick foam for the top.
  • Spoon remaining thick foam on top. Dust with ground cinnamon or vanilla bean powder. Serve immediately.
