Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Ground coffee
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 0.5 cup Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Honey (or sweetener of choice)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Add the ground coffee and water to a small saucepan over medium heat.
Break the cinnamon stick in half and add it to the saucepan.
Stir gently and let the mixture come to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
While the coffee is simmering, warm the milk in a separate small saucepan or microwave until hot but not boiling.
Once the coffee is done simmering, remove it from the heat and strain it through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter into a heat-safe mug.
Stir in the vanilla extract, orange zest, and honey until fully dissolved.
Slowly pour the warmed milk into the mug, gently mixing to combine.
Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top as a garnish and serve immediately.
