You can use ground cinnamon or cinnamon sticks, as both will give it that need aromatic flavor.

To bring back the sweetness of this drink you will need brown sugar. Either light or dark brown sugar can be used to make this drink.

To get the consistency correct and to strengthen the apple taste, you are going to need apple juice. Preferably you should use reduced apple juice as it is much thinner than pure pressed apple juice. However, if you want your syrup to be thicker then you can use apple puree as an option.

Of course, you are going to need milk. Organic 2% milk is the preferred choice, but feel free to substitute your macchiato with almond milk or other vegan alternatives if you desire.

For the basis of this caffeine beverage, you are going to need coffee, and not just any type of coffee but rather espresso. You only require one shot of espresso to complete the drink.

This last ingredient of apple flavoring isn’t essential to this beverage but rather optional if you are wanting to add a little bit more apple flavor.

As a shortcut, you can also purchase the Cinnamon Apple Streusel from Lifeboost Coffee, as this can serve as the apple basis of your apple crisp macchiato. You can also try their wide variety of dark roast coffee beans if you need your extra fix of caffeine.
