Instructions
Make Cinnamon Brown Sugar Simple Syrup
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together brown sugar and water. Toss in cinnamon stick.
- Bring to a boil and allow to boil for a minute until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow cinnamon stick to steep in the syrup about 10 - 15 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour into a mason jar or container with an airtight lid and store in refrigerator when not in use.
Make Graham Cracker Milk
- Warm 1½ cups milk slightly in the microwave or a saucepan. Toss in graham crackers and stir until you have a soggy mess. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a fine mesh strainer, and press down on the graham cracker solids with a spatula or spoon to strain the liquid part of the mixture into a measuring cup with a spout. You should get about 1 cup of milk -- discard the solids.
- Repeat if necessary (if the milk looks like it has too many little pieces floating around in it) The milk will be slightly thickened.
- Pour the remaining 1½ cups milk into the graham cracker milk and stir to combine.
Make Graham Cracker Latte
- Add 1 to 2 teaspoons syrup to the bottom of your coffee mug/cup/bowl/vessel.

- Pour in equal amount of milk.
- Top with whipped cream or milk foam and graham cracker crumbs, if desired.
