This iced honey cinnamon latte is one of my favorite morning pick-me-ups! I love that I can sleep in a little extra because I don’t need to make time to stop by the coffee shop anymore. The honey cinnamon syrup couldn’t be easier to make and keeps for a long time, so it’s easy to make ahead so I can have delicious lattes all week long. This is a great drink to enjoy in the last days of summer when I’m yearning for Fall weather!
I mean, who doesn’t love to get their caffeine fix in the form of an iced latte, especially when it’s still warm out? This honey cinnamon latte is so delicious and simple to make. The syrup comes together quickly and makes a pretty big batch, too, so I have plenty for the whole week. In fact, I usually make a double batch so I’m never in danger of running out!
What’s in This Honey Cinnamon Latte Recipe?
- Coffee: Use your favorite coffee for this recipe. I like to use brewed espresso, but instant or decaf will both work well.
- Honey Cinnamon Syrup: A simple mixture of water, honey, and cinnamon adds so much flavor to this delicious drink.
- Milk: Makes the latte nice and creamy. Any kind of milk works, including plant-based milks, so use your favorite.
Tips for Success
- Let the honey cinnamon syrup cool completely before using if making this drink iced.
- If you’d like to serve this hot, simply don’t allow the syrup or espresso to cool. Stir together and add your milk of choice. Enjoy!
- To make this drink fully plant-based, simply swap the honey for maple syrup and use a non-dairy milk.
How to Store
It’s best to serve this honey cinnamon latte as soon as you’ve made it so that the ice doesn’t melt and dilute the drink. You can make the syrup ahead of time, though, and it will keep for 2 weeks in the fridge. You can also brew up the coffee a day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge so it’s ready to use.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
