The Heavenly Cinnamon Choco Latte

I am a picky eater in some sense and I easily get bored of the everyday Indian food so I like to keep things interesting and different every now and then. That is why I find myself craving pasta, sandwiches, Mexican, Thai food etc very often. If there is one thing that I had to name that I could consume every single day without tiring of it, it would be coffee :) And not just your average cup of brewed coffee. It has to be a latte. I am not a purist when it comes to lattes. I don't mind flavoring mine with different things .... the usual is caramel, vanilla, hazelnut and chocolate. There are other less frequent exceptions like butterscotch and the promotional flavors at my favorite coffee places.

✅ INGREDIENTS

1 shot freshly brewed espresso
3/4 cup milk - heated to your liking
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon syrup
2 tsp chocolate sauce/syrup + more to decorate
whipping cream - to top the beverage
cinnamon stick (with one end covered in foil - optional)

✅ INSTRUCTIONS

Pour the espresso shot in cup. Add the cinnamon syrup and 2 tsp chocolate sauce/syrup. Mix.
Add the heated milk and stir to mix.
Top with whipping cream and chocolate syrup.
Serve hot with a stick of cinnamon.

There is one latte however that I once had at TCC , which completely blew me away. It was a Cinnamon Choco latte and it was divine! What a pity that they took it out of their menu since as far as I am concerned, that was the best thing they had in store. That is saying a lot for a place where the usual coffee just does not live upto its name. The Affogatto is ok but everything else is just forgettable.

In North America, I owned a Melitta Espresso maker, a very ordinary machine that still brewed a decent cup of coffee. Last year, I bought a Krups espresso machine. It is in no way a state of the art machine but it brews a beautiful cup of coffee - just the way I like it. The espresso itself is delicately flavored and has a crema on it that is delightful. I don't feel the need to froth my milk anymore because the espresso has enough crema that the hot milk added to it gives me a beautiful layer of coffee flavored froth on top of my beverage. There are Italian coffee machines that will put my handy little device to shame but I love my coffee maker any day since it gives me a chance to have a good cup of coffee when I want it.

Now about this cinnamon choco latte .... it is a work of art and I did not try to search for any recipes or measurements to see how this would turn out. I just went with what I thought would be good .... tasted and tweaked a bit and there it is .... a delightful latte that can perk one any time of the day. This is best enjoyed with a cinnamon stick that can be allowed to infuse further flavor into the coffee and also slurp the whipping cream and coffee. Yum yum!!
