A delightful twist on the classic mocha coffee, infused with warm spices and rich flavors.
In the coffee maker, combine the ground coffee and ground cinnamon in the filter. Brew the coffee as per the coffee maker's instructions.
Using freshly ground coffee beans can enhance the flavor of your brew.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm and small bubbles form at the edges. Avoid boiling.
Stirring continuously prevents the milk from scorching and ensures a smooth mixture.
Divide the milk mixture evenly among four mugs.
Pre-warming the mugs with hot water can help keep your drink warm longer.
Pour the brewed coffee into each mug, filling to your desired level.
Adjust the coffee-to-milk ratio to suit your taste preference.
Garnish each mug with a cinnamon stick and serve immediately.
For an extra indulgence, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
