Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure you have all your ingredients measured and ready to go.
- Pour the 4 cups of milk into a medium-sized saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the cinnamon stick to the saucepan with the milk.
- Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the saucepan.
- Stir the mixture occasionally to help the sugar dissolve and prevent the milk from scalding.
- Allow the milk to heat up gently, continuing to stir occasionally. Do not let it come to a full boil; aim for just below boiling point. This should take about 6-8 minutes.
- The cinnamon stick should remain in the milk during this time to ensure the flavor infuses well.
- Once the milk is hot and the sugar has fully dissolved, reduce the heat to low.
- Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the saucepan and stir to incorporate.
- Let the milk simmer for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, but be sure not to let it boil.
- Carefully remove the cinnamon stick from the milk using a spoon or tongs.
- Pour the hot cinnamon and vanilla milk into mugs.
- For an added touch, garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting warmth and delicious flavor of your hot cinnamon and vanilla milk.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can use whole milk instead of 1% fat milk.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for an extra layer of spice and warmth.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of sugar to taste or add a bit of honey.
- For a dairy-free version, you can use almond milk, oat milk, or any other plant-based milk.
- Let the cinnamon stick steep longer if you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor.
- To make it even more decadent, top your hot milk with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
There you have it—a warm, soothing cup of hot cinnamon and vanilla milk to enjoy on a cold day or just when you need a comforting treat. This easy-to-make beverage will quickly become a favorite for its delicious blend of flavors and comforting warmth.
