What Does a Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte Taste Like? 

In Italian, dolce means sweet, and if you see it written on a musical score, you should play the piece softly and smoothly. Those words are the perfect way to answer, what does Cinnamon Dolce taste like?

This drink is rich and creamy, with sweet cinnamon being the most noticeable flavor. A touch of vanilla in the background helps smooth some rough edges and keeps the cinnamon from becoming too overwhelming. 

What Is Cinnamon Dolce Coffee? 

Cinnamon Dolce Latte, or sweet cinnamon latte, is one of Starbucks’ ever-growing list of specialty coffee drinks. But you don’t have to shell out five or six bucks just to enjoy it. Make this delicious drink at home with this copycat recipe. 

Why Is This the Best Cinnamon Dolce Latte You Should Try? 

There is no need to buy cinnamon dolce syrup when it is so incredibly easy and inexpensive to make it yourself at home. Whip up a batch and enjoy this decadent coffee drink whenever you want. 

Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte Ingredients

To make the Cinnamon Dolce syrup, you’ll need:

• Water 
• White sugar 
• Brown sugar 
• Cinnamon sticks 
• Vanilla extract 

It’s essential to use both types of sugar in this recipe. The brown sugar adds a caramel flavor you can’t get from white sugar alone. 

To make the latte, you’ll need:

• Cinnamon Dolce syrup
• Espresso 
• Milk
• Whipped cream 
• Ground cinnamon 

If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use extra strong coffee or instant espresso powder. 

To froth milk without an espresso machine, warm the milk and whisk vigorously or shake in a jar. A standalone frother is a good investment if you often make specialty coffee drinks at home.
