Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 pieces cinnamon sticks
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup whipped cream
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the milk, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper over medium heat. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
Add the brown sugar and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Add the cinnamon sticks and allow the mixture to steep for about 5 minutes to enhance the cinnamon flavor.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully strain the mixture into two serving mugs if you want to remove the cinnamon sticks.
Top each mug with whipped cream, and sprinkle a light pinch of ground nutmeg over the top for added aroma and flavor.
For extra flair, garnish each mug with a cinnamon stick as a stirrer. Serve immediately and enjoy!
