A cinnamon Americano is espresso diluted with hot water and flavored with cinnamon. The cinnamon adds a warm, spicy aroma to the coffee; the drink can be made without sugar or syrup.
Pull espresso, add hot water, then stir in a little cinnamon. If you do not have an espresso machine, use strongly brewed coffee; adding cinnamon to the finished cup is easier than trying to dissolve it in water.
Yes, you can serve a cinnamon Americano over ice. Combine espresso with cold water and ice, then add the cinnamon; mixing the spice into the espresso before adding cold water helps it spread more evenly.
Start with a small pinch and add more only if you want a stronger spice flavor. Cinnamon can quickly overpower the coffee, and ground cinnamon will remain suspended rather than dissolving completely.
No, ground cinnamon does not fully dissolve in a cinnamon Americano. It may float at first and settle later, so stir the drink before sipping; a cinnamon stick gives aroma without leaving as much powder behind.
Yes, a cinnamon Americano contains caffeine because it is made with espresso. Cinnamon does not remove or neutralize the caffeine, and the amount depends mainly on the espresso used.
Yes, dissolve instant coffee in hot water to make a strong coffee base, then add more hot water and cinnamon. The result is not technically espresso-based, but it gives you a similar cinnamon-coffee drink.
It can seem slightly sweeter because cinnamon has a naturally warm, sweet-smelling aroma, but it is not a sweetener. A cinnamon Americano made without sugar will still taste like coffee, with a spiced finish.
A cinnamon Americano does not cause weight loss or burn fat. Without sugary syrups or other additions, it is a low-calorie coffee choice, but adding cinnamon does not give it a special weight-loss effect.
For a strict fast that allows only water, yes: cinnamon Americano is not water, even when made without sugar. Fasting rules vary by purpose, so a coffee drink may be treated differently in less strict routines.

A cinnamon Americano is an espresso-based drink made by topping espresso with hot water and adding cinnamon. Diluting espresso this way gives it a longer, lighter body than a straight shot, while cinnamon brings a warm, gently spiced aroma. It can be stirred in or dusted over the surface.
Enjoy it at breakfast, during a coffee break, or after a meal; it is commonly served black, though a splash of milk also works well. The cinnamon adds fragrance without making the drink notably sweet, so it suits people looking for a simple alternative to flavored, sugary coffees. The listed energy is just 2 calories per 100 g. Add more hot water for a milder cup, and adjust the cinnamon to taste.
