I recently discovered the iced cinnamon dolce latte while shopping in the mall with my daughter.

We saw it on the menu and a cinnamon dolce latte sounded just right for a long day of walking and shopping.

The only one thing that bothered me was how expensive this delicious Starbucks chilled cinnamon dolce latte was, even for the smallest size.

But, it was so good! I knew I had to make a copycat version of this cinnamon dulce de leche latte Starbucks iced beverage at home.

The next day I figured out the recipe for the drink and the imitation Starbucks cinnamon dolce syrup and my daughter told me it tasted just like the one we had at the mall.

If you like cinnamon flavor, you are going to love this cold, refreshing latte.

Ingredients for iced cinnamon dolce latte:

• 1 cup brewed coffee or espresso
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon dolce syrup (see my simple cinnamon dolce syrup recipe below) or, use either bottled cinnamon syrup or bottled vanilla syrup with 1/2 tsp of cinnamon (found in grocery stores, Target, online at Amazon too, link to sugar free cinnamon dolce syrup)
• 2 Tbsp heavy cream, for a lower fat/calorie version, use fat free and half and half or creamer of choice. Nut Pods is a good choice too. I use the unsweetened one.
• handful of ice cubes
• whipped cream for topping
• cinnamon or cinnamon sugar for topping

Recipe for homemade Starbucks cinnamon dolce syrup:

• 1 cup cold water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ⅛ tsp sea or kosher salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Here’s how to make a delicious copycat Starbucks iced cinnamon dolce latte…

Directions for making a copycat Starbucks iced cinnamon dolce latte:

1. Brew coffee strong, let cool off just a bit by placing it in the freezer or fridge for a few minutes. Add syrup to the bottom of the cup. Pour coffee over then heavy cream. Stir.
2. Add ice, stir again. Top off with whip cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Directions for making homemade cinnamon syrup:

 1. In a small saucepan, bring water, cinnamon, sugar and salt to a boil. Stir and keep stirring until sugar dissolves completely. This should take just a few minutes. Let reduce to about half. It will be thicker when reduced.

2. Take off heat, stir in vanilla. Pour into a heatproof bowl or container. Leave out on the counter then put in the fridge to cool. (Can be stored in a sealed container up to two weeks in the fridge.)
