Use a medium heat for the syrup mixture.

When you boil the sugar, cinnamon, and water on the stove, use a medium heat.

The mixture should start to boil after about a minute or two since it’s such a small batch. Let it continue to boil at medium heat for about two to three minutes, or until it starts to thicken. It won’t thicken very much, but will have a syrup-like texture.

You’ll only use some of the syrup mixture.

This recipe may be Starbucks-inspired, but it’s certainly not as sweet as the OG. I’m not a huge fan of sugary drinks, so I don’t use quite as much syrup as Starbucks.

If you use just about 1 tablespoon (or less if you prefer) of the yield in the below recipe, it still tastes just as yummy.

Serve in a high ball glass to take the presentation to the next level.

I got a little creative with this drink and put it in a high ball glass to make it look fancy. There’s no alcohol, but it elevates the presentation.

Also, instead of adding whipped cream, I sprinkled a few coconut shreds on top with a couple of cinnamon sticks. You can also put a cinnamon stick or two in the final drink for an extra kick.

After all, cinnamon does have a number of wonderful health benefits.

Combine espresso, milk, and only 1 tablespoon of cinnamon dulce syrup. The rest you can save in the refrigerator for another time!

I usually notice the coffee first, but this time i I usually notice the coffee first, but this time it was roasted barley tea🫖 

My most hospitable friend kept refilling it all day like some people keep a pot on. Toasty, nutty, unexpectedly comforting. Plus, the experience was all the more elevated with her artisan ceramics🍵 

And as I was headed out the door, her mom fittingly handed me single-serve pour overs she brought back from overseas. I was shocked to discover it’s about as close as you can get to specialty coffee in a pre-packaged setup.

I’m not replacing coffee.

But barley tea made a very respectable case.

There’s something to be said for a place that se There’s something to be said for a place that sets out a pour-over set and kettle instead of a basic coffee maker.

Heavy mugs, slow mornings, and the sense that no one is in a rush to be anywhere else. Some places just get it.
