Ingredients
- 2 cups Strong brewed coffee
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

- 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Instructions
Brew 2 cups of strong coffee using your preferred method and set it aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar with the brewed coffee. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and evenly distribute the spices.
Add the vanilla extract and whole milk (or cream) to the saucepan. Continue to stir gently and heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling, about 3 minutes.
Taste the coffee mixture and adjust the sweetness or spice level to your preference by adding more sugar or spices sparingly.
Pour the Cajun Coffee into two cups or mugs.
Top with whipped cream for an optional creamy finish. Garnish with a cinnamon stick if desired.
