After having several medium, hot decaf, Brown Sugar Cinnamon Breves at Dutch Bros., I decided to try making one myself. Since I have a cappucino maker at home, I figured I could save a little money and enjoy this blissful breve even if it doesn’t taste exactly the same. Mine is a little healthier because I use Cinnamon Essential Oil and about 1/2 the cream. Still, it’s pretty good. Here’s what’s in it:
2 shots espresso (mine is decaf, go for the loaded version if you want)
1/2 cup Half and Half
1/2 cup Non or Low-fat milk
1 drop Cinnamon Essential Oil
1 heaping teaspoon brown sugar…more or less to taste (15 calories per teaspoon)
Add your sugar and cinnamon oil to a coffee cup, pour the espresso shots in, then steam the combined milk and cream to make a frothy beverage. Pour into the espresso, sprinkle with raw sugar and powdered cinnamon (optional, of course).
Enjoy!
