Welcome to a delightful fusion of cool refreshment and warm spice! Our Cinnamon Swirl Iced Coffee is inspired by the beloved Starbucks favorite, bringing the coffeehouse experience right to your kitchen. This recipe combines the rich, bold flavors of cold brew coffee with the comforting warmth of cinnamon, creating a perfect balance that's sure to awaken your senses.
We use a medium-dark roast coffee for a robust base, cold brewed for 12-24 hours to extract maximum flavor with minimal acidity. The cinnamon syrup is homemade, infusing real cinnamon sticks for an authentic, aromatic taste that perfectly complements the coffee. The result is a smooth, invigorating drink that's ideal for warm summer days or as a year-round treat for cinnamon lovers.
