  • Espresso or strong brewed coffee (1 shot (about 1 ounce))
  • Sugar (1 tablespoon)
  • Vanilla extract (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Ground cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Whipped cream (to taste)
  • Cinnamon sugar (for topping (mix 1 tablespoon sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon))

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  2. Add the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar to the hot milk, whisking until well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
