Scale
Beverage
- 2 cups brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Brew Coffee: Brew two cups of your favorite coffee using your preferred method to ensure a fresh and flavorful base for the drink.
- Heat Milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling, which will help to blend the flavors smoothly.
- Add Flavorings: Stir the sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon into the warm milk until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a sweet and aromatic mixture.
- Combine Coffee and Milk: Pour the flavored warm milk mixture over the brewed coffee, gently mixing to combine the ingredients perfectly.
- Garnish and Serve: Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of cinnamon for an elegant and festive finish.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a richer texture, or substitute with a non-dairy option like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the sugar amount or using flavored syrups instead of sugar.
- Add a splash of flavored liqueur such as peppermint schnapps or Irish cream for an adult holiday twist.
- For extra spice, include a pinch of nutmeg or cloves along with the cinnamon.
- Brew strong coffee or espresso for a more robust flavor that balances well with the sweetened milk.
