I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but I do enjoy an iced coffee almost every morning. Whether it's hot or cold out, it's the perfect boost to my morning. And when I don't get my morning iced coffee, I get cranky ... just ask my husband!

Usually, I make my iced coffee with milk and a little sugar, but every once in a while I like to add flavored coffee syrup. While shopping recently I happened across a bottle this flavored syrup ... it sounded so good that I just knew I was going to recreate the flavors at home!

Ingredient

How to Use Coffee Syrup at Home

Wasn't that easy to make? This homemade flavored coffee syrup really does only take a few minutes to make! Learn how to make a latte and an iced coffee below, and try this homemade Cinnamon Dolce Syrup in other drinks too, like Instant Iced Coffee, Shaken Espresso, or Irish Iced Coffee!

How to make a Cinnamon Brown Sugar Latte:

1. Start with about a cup of hot espresso or strong coffee. I used my Ninja Coffee System on the Specialty Brew Setting.
2. Stir a tablespoon or two of the Cinnamon Brown Sugar Coffee Syrup into the coffee.
3. Microwave ½ cups milk until hot, about 1 minute, in a frother. Then, put the lid on the frother and pump 15 times until the milk is foamy. If you don't have frother, heat the milk in a jar with a lid (like a mason jar). Once it's heated, secure the lid and shake until foamy.
4. Pour the frothed milk into the coffee and sprinkle with cinnamon.

That's it! Check out the finished drink below ... doesn't it look yummy?

How to Make an Cinnamon Brown Sugar Iced Coffee

Now that you know how to make a latte, why not try this syrup in an iced coffee? I'm showing you two ways, but try it in other drinks, too.

1. Brew about 1 ½ cups of coffee, then chill. I have a hack for chilling the coffee quickly ... check out my how to make the perfect iced coffee post for directions.
2. Once chilled, place coffee in a tall glass, then add milk and a tablespoon or two of coffee syrup to taste.
3. Mix well, then fill glass with ice. Enjoy!

Tip: If you have a Ninja Coffee System, fill a tall glass with iced, then add coffee grounds to the basket. Press Over Ice Brew. When the coffee ice done brewing, add milk, plus one or two tablespoons of the syrup. Stir and enjoy! As you can probably guess, I love my Ninja Coffee Maker ... it makes the best coffee house style drinks at home!
