Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly brewed coffee
- 0.5 cup milk (whole or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
- 1 piece cinnamon stick (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by brewing a fresh cup of your favorite coffee. You can use a drip coffee maker, French press, or espresso machine as per your preference.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until the mixture is hot and frothy, but do not bring it to a boil.
Pour the freshly brewed coffee into a mug, leaving a bit of room at the top for the milk mixture.
Gently pour the frothy milk mixture over the coffee, stirring lightly to combine.
Top the coffee with a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
For an optional garnish, sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg over the whipped cream or add a cinnamon stick for visual appeal and extra spice.
Serve hot and enjoy your Cafe Joy as a cozy treat!
