This is going to be a short and sweet little post, but I wanted to share a new recipe with you guys! :) I've been having this for the last 3 mornings, and I have to say it is better than Starbucks! Have an idea of what it is yet? Judging by the title of this post, I think you might already have a small hint. hehe
It's a...Cinnamon Caramel Iced Latte! If you like Starbucks' Cinnamon Dolce Latte, you'll love this!
Cinnamon Caramel Iced Latte (Sugar & Soy Free!)
Makes one serving
Ingredients:
- Ground coffee beans (I use Folger's Classic)
- Ground Cinnamon
- Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (or any milk of your choice)
- Sugar Free Caramel Coffee Syrup
- Ice Cubes
Directions:
- Brew double strength coffee with cinnamon added to the grounds. I used 2 heaping tablespoons of ground coffee and 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of filtered water. This makes enough for one serving, about 1/3 cup of coffee. :)
- In your favorite cup, then add 2 chugs of caramel syrup (about 2 tablespoons) and 1 cup of milk.
- Add ice and pour your double strength coffee over top.
- Stir it up and enjoy!
If you used unsweetened almond milk, this yummy treat only has 40 calories!! Talk about a calorie bargain! :)
I actually think my version is much better than Starbucks', but that's just me. :) I will have to buy some of their syrup and test it out! hehe By the way, their syrups are super cheaper, compared to their coffee. I believe they sell them for only $8-$9 for a 1 liter! Crazy, right? I know every time I treat myself to a drink, it's at least $5. I also scored this brand new fancy schmancy Starbucks tumbler at a thrift store for $5! I wish I would have found it sooner though, because the cashier told me they were originally priced for 75 cents, until someone told them they were expensive. :( Oh well! Still a great deal. :)
Anyways, I need to go start on my exercise. :)
I hope everyone has an awesome Sunday!
What is your favorite type of coffee drink?
