RECIPE: Vanilla Cinnamon Latte
Here’s how to make it a 12oz hot version. (Comment if you want iced version)
1. Add 25g of homemade vanilla bean syrup to your cup.
2. Pull a double shot of espresso and pour it into your cup.
3. Mix the syrup and espresso together with a spoon or a little whisk.
4. Add three small dashes of cinnamon.
5. Steam 250 g of organic whole milk or whatever milk you like to 145°.
6. Pour the milk into the cup and if you need a little bit more vanilla or a little bit more cinnamon that’s fine too—just mix it in and make sure you give it a stir.
7. Enjoy.

By weighing out your espresso in your portafilter and then aiming for double that amount of liquid espresso in your cup you can achieve a 1-to-2 brew ratio, which is an excellent starting point (or ending point if you like the flavor) for a great shot.

After I dropped my $250 scale I wondered if something more affordable was out there. This scale is a solid coffee scale option for under $40. No frills. Looks good.
