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 freshly brewed espresso over it.
Pour in equal amount of milk.
Top with whipped cream or milk foam and graham cracker crumbs, if desired.
Notes
Top with "froth" and graham cracker crumbs for an authentic coffeehouse experience.
