Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 pieces cinnamon sticks
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup whipped cream
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the milk, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper over medium heat. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
Step 2
Add the brown sugar and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Add the cinnamon sticks and allow the mixture to steep for about 5 minutes to enhance the cinnamon flavor.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully strain the mixture into two serving mugs if you want to remove the cinnamon sticks.
Step 5
Top each mug with whipped cream, and sprinkle a light pinch of ground nutmeg over the top for added aroma and flavor.
Step 6
For extra flair, garnish each mug with a cinnamon stick as a stirrer. Serve immediately and enjoy!
