Cinnamon Mint Latte

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Drinks
A bold pairing: the cooling effect of mint meets the warmth of cinnamon. Rare in the coffee world, but inspired by Moroccan mint tea culture. Steeping fresh mint leaves yields a much more natural flavor than syrups.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Strainer
  • Milk Frother

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Heat the milk with the mint leaves and cinnamon powder to about 140°F.

Tip: Menthol is volatile and releases quickly.
2 ✓

Let steep for 2 minutes, then strain.

Tip: Do not press the leaves in the strainer, or bitter compounds may enter the milk.
3 ✓

Froth the milk.

Tip: Mint oil can slightly destabilize the foam, so it might not be as stiff as regular foam.
4 ✓

Pour over the coffee and garnish.

Tip: Stirring with the cinnamon stick further enhances the aroma.

Recipe FAQ

The milk color looks odd.
If you steep or boil the mint too long, chlorophyll and tannins can leech out, causing a brownish-green tint. Steep only briefly!
