In a small saucepan, combine the water, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes.

Tip: Double the syrup batch and store it in the refrigerator for a week to have on hand for future lattes.

Prepare your espresso or brewed coffee according to your machine's instructions.

Tip: For a stronger flavor, use a darker roast or increase the amount of coffee.

In a separate saucepan or using a milk frother, heat your milk until steaming but not boiling. Froth the milk until it reaches your desired consistency.

Tip: If you like a more indulgent latte, use whole milk for a creamier texture.

In each serving mug, pour one shot of espresso, then add 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon syrup. Stir gently to combine. Top with the steamed and frothed milk, filling the mug almost to the rim.

Finish your latte with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top.
