What Does Cinnamon Dolce Mean?
So before we begin let me address what does cinnamon dolce mean exactly! “Dolce” means “sweet” in Italian. So when you add on cinnamon dolce it stands for a sweet cinnamon latte.
You will find you get some warm spice from the cinnamon and then a buttery sweet from the brown sugar and granulated sugar.
