All Things Coffee + Starbucks Copycat Cinnamon Shortbread Iced Latte!

There’s a new Starbucks drink in town — the Cinnamon Shortbread Latte — and signs for it suck me in every time I step foot into a Target or Kroger with a Starbucks. This limited-edition beverage blends espresso with milk, incorporates notes of brown butter and vanilla, and is topped with a sprinkling of nutmeg and cinnamon.

GOOD news! I’ve come up with a yummy copycat Starbucks Cinnamon Shortbread Iced Latte Recipe, which means you’ll be able to continue making this treat at home long after it has left your local Starbucks location. I think this recipe is as good or even better than Starbucks! The cinnamon flavor adds a warm fuzzy feel to your average latte.

To start, a good bean makes a good latte. Have I told y’all about Lavazza coffee? I’m wondering why I don’t rave about it everyday, because I drink it and LOVE it everyday!  I make iced lattes and go back and forth between Lavazza Gran Crema Espresso and Lavazza Super Crema Expresso, depending on what is cheaper on Amazon at the time I need it.

Amazon sells Lavazza in whole bean, ground and K-Cup.

Next, we use the KRUPS EA8808 super automatic espresso machine that is pricey but AMAZING! Any drink you can think of is ready in a minute with the touch of a button. Cleaning is very easy. Also available on Amazon!

If you don’t have an automatic espresso maker, I can’t recommend this AeroPress Espresso Maker more! It’s small enough to travel with, doesn’t need plugging in, takes 30 seconds, and puts out REALLY GOOD espresso! Check out the 8,000 positive reviews on Amazon. *Uses ground espresso.

Now that I’ve laid the framework, here’s the recipe you’ve been waiting for…

Starbucks Copycat Cinnamon Shortbread Iced Latte:

5 ingredient Starbucks copycat recipe that takes just 2 minutes to make!

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon sugar in the raw
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 shots espresso
  • 1 cup milk
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. In a cup, combine vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon. 
  2. Pour hot espresso over mixture. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add milk
  4. Serve over ice.

I hope you enjoy! <3

Jeans x Comfort!

I stumbled across these LEE jeans recently and decided to give them a shot. I’m a sucker for hidden comfort. The waistband is made with a butter soft material making them feel a lot less stiff than your average jean. They exceeded my expectations, and I am excited to add them to my jean mix!

FIT: True to size.

The Future Is Now!

Have you ever come across an idea or gadget that makes you stop and rejoice? This was one of those for me! Nordstrom has a version of the mommy hook but on steroids. It’s called the Mommy Power Stroller Hook, and it will give your phone a good charge while holding a handful of bags (up to 25lbs). We load our stroller hook up (purse, shopping bags, backpack, pool bag, etc.)! I’m trying to think whos baby shower is next so I can gift this.

Stripes will enliven your day…

Sometimes I watch Nordstrom so much I question if an item will ever go on sale. This Stripe Softened Jersey Turtleneck was just marked down to $26.70 (reg. $44.50)! Perfect timing for Valentine’s Day, and the perfect price for a closet staple. This top is not too clingy and has a great high low hem. Runs true to size. I am wearing XS.

The Perfect Material… Soft and Crisp!

It’s always a good day when you can get J. Crew clothes on sale. Like this collared tie-sleeve popover shirt that I’ve never seen eligible with a promo code. — $59.62 (reg. $79.50)! This top is light enough to wear year round and pairs with jeans, white jeans or leggings. I like it tucked in the front, and when it’s cold out I layer it with a cardigan.

This top has an oversized fit, but runs true to size. I am wearing XS.
