This delightful beverage combines the rich, bold flavors of espresso with the sweet, spicy notes of cinnamon, creating a perfect harmony in your cup. Inspired by the classic Italian cappuccino and the beloved cinnamon roll, this drink brings together the best of both worlds.
Our recipe uses freshly ground, medium-dark roast espresso beans for a robust coffee base.
