Cinnamon Cappuccino

This homemade Cinnamon Cappuccino is the perfect way to satisfy your sweet coffee craving right at home. It’s made with your favorite espresso sweetened with homemade cinnamon syrup, then topped with creamy frothed milk and whipped cream. 

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you’ll already know how much I love my coffee. My day doesn’t start until I have my first cup. 

Today, I’m sharing one of my new favorite hot drinks: a Cinnamon Cappuccino. It’s so tasty and perfect for fall.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Homemade! No need to run to your local coffee shop. You can make a delicious beverage in your own kitchen.
• Simple ingredients. You only need milk, espresso, a four-ingredient homemade cinnamon syrup, and whipped cream.
• Cozy and delicious. The sweet, spicy flavor of cinnamon pairs perfectly with the espresso and creamy frothed milk. 

Ingredients

The full printable recipe card with measurements and instructions is found at the bottom of the post.

• Cinnamon Syrup. We’re making a simple homemade cinnamon syrup with water, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
• Frothed Milk. If you have a method to steam or froth your milk, great! If not, you can warm it up in the microwave or stove. It won’t be as creamy, but it will still taste good.
• Espresso. I use my De’Longhi espresso machine to make espresso for this cappuccino. Feel free to use whatever brewing method you prefer.
• Garnishes. I love to top my cappuccino off with a little bit of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

What to Serve with It

This cinnamon cappuccino is perfect to sip on if all you crave is a cozy beverage. However, you can totally serve it with your favorite breakfast or as a snack alongside a slice of Grandma’s cinnamon coffee cake, peach coffee cake, Snickerdoodle cupcakes, or streusel coffee cake! 

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• No way to brew espresso? Make a strongly brewed coffee instead. The flavor will be slightly different, but it will still taste delicious.
• Want a dairy-free cappuccino? Use whatever plant-based milk you prefer!
• Serve immediately. Coffee is always served hot and fresh. 

Storage Instructions

The cappuccino itself is best served right away. Freshly brewed coffee and steamed milk are always the way to go! 

The cinnamon syrup can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. It’s great to keep on hand so you can whip up a homemade cappuccino whenever you want! 

Can You Add Flavor?

Heck, yes, you can! A traditional cappuccino is a 6-ounce coffee drink made with ⅓ espresso, ⅓ steamed milk, and ⅓ frothed milk. But when you make one at home, you can add any flavor to it! 

If cinnamon syrup isn’t your thing, try adding a dash of maple syrup, simple syrup, or any other coffee flavor your heart desires.
