I am a recovering Starbucks fanatic. It has been several months since my last Starbucks drink. Don’t get me wrong. I have not given up coffee, or even yummy coffee treats like this Copycat Starbucks Iced Cinnamon Dolce Latte. I have just learned to make my own from home for a fraction of the price with my Keurig.
This Copycat Starbucks Iced Cinnamon Dolce Latte is actually super simple to make. I made my own Cinnamon Dolce Syrup, the recipe is below. OR you can actually buy the Starbucks Dolce Syrup from Amazon. The homemade syrup is just as good if not better.
I popped in a Starbucks K-Cup! I have plenty of those thanks to the great stock up prices at Cross Country Cafe. If you have a Keurig you NEED to click over and check them out! I could spend $4+ for a drink or much less than $1 to make this drink at home!
I chose the 6 oz, strong setting on my keurig 2.0. Since I am brewing over ice and I want the same strength coffee I would get at Starbucks I wanted to brew it strong.
Once it was brewed I added a Tablespoon or maybe a little more of the Cinnamon Dolce Syrup I made.
Next was a splash of cream, you only live once. The cream is heavy enough that it keeps your drink from tasting watered down from the ice. Top with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon. ENJOY!

Homemade coffee always tastes better and is so much cheaper. I like to use 4 ounces coffee and 4 ounces ice for my iced coffee, it works great every time. Your recipe looks great!
