for topping
Cinnamon sticks

  2. Brew the coffee according to your coffee maker's instructions. The mix of cocoa and cinnamon will infuse the coffee with a unique flavor.
  3. While the coffee is brewing, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the coffee mixture before brewing.
  • 💡 Experiment with flavored syrups, such as vanilla or hazelnut, to personalize your drink.
  • 💡 For a non-dairy option, substitute regular milk with almond milk or oat milk.
