Spanish latte dusted with cinnamon, made with Era espresso and condensed milk

The Spanish latte earned its place on every café menu in the Emirates for a reason: condensed milk sweetens and thickens in one move, and it flatters a chocolatey shot. This is the version we make at home, finished with cinnamon.

Ingredients

Double espresso36–40g
Sweetened condensed milk25–40g
Milk of choice160ml
Ground cinnamona dusting
Iceto fill (optional)

Method

Stir the condensed milk into the hot espresso until fully dissolved.
For iced: fill a glass with ice and milk, then pour the sweetened espresso over the top.
For hot: steam the milk to silky microfoam and pour over the espresso base.
Dust the surface with cinnamon and stir before drinking.

NotesVale Dourado's milk chocolate and hazelnut notes are built for this drink. Start at 25g of condensed milk and work up; it should taste like coffee first, never like dessert milk.
