Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until hot but not boiling.
2. Add the scraped vanilla bean seeds and the split vanilla pod to the milk, stirring well to combine.
3. Remove the pan from heat and let the milk steep for 5 minutes to fully infuse the vanilla flavor.
4. Meanwhile, brew a cup of your favorite coffee using your preferred method, whether it's a drip coffee maker, French press, or espresso machine.
5. After steeping, strain the infused milk through a fine mesh sieve to remove the vanilla pod and any solid bits.
6. Pour the brewed coffee into a mug and add the infused vanilla milk, stirring gently to combine.
7. Stir in honey to sweeten to your taste, adjusting the amount based on your preference for sweetness.
8. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream, if desired, and sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.
9. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting warmth and delightful aromas.
