- 1–2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or sugar (optional)
Toppings (optional)
- Whipped cream
- Extra cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Brew your coffee using your preferred method and pour it into a mug, making sure it’s hot and fresh.
- Heat Milk: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe container, heat the milk until warm and frothy, about 30–45 seconds, but avoid boiling.
- Add Flavors: Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup or sugar if using into the warm milk.
- Froth Milk: Use a frother or whisk vigorously to create a light foamy texture in the milk mixture.
- Combine: Pour the cinnamon-vanilla milk mixture into the brewed coffee and stir gently to blend all the flavors evenly.
- Garnish: Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired for added richness and aroma.
- Serve: Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the full comforting flavor experience.
Notes
- For an iced version, chill the brewed coffee and pour it over ice before adding the cinnamon-vanilla milk.
- Use cinnamon syrup instead of ground cinnamon for a smoother finish.
- Adjust the amount of sweetener according to your preference or dietary requirements.
- Non-dairy milk options like almond, oat, or soy milk work well for a vegan variation.
