- Cinnamon powder: The main cosy spice that contributes to the spicy, aromatic quality of this drink.
- Maple syrup: This adds natural sweetness to complement the cinnamon.
- Milk: For making frothy milk foam on top. I used full fat milk to make a rich, creamy milk foam.

Ground cinnamon is more commonly used for ease of mixing, but cinnamon sticks can be used as well. If using sticks, steep them in the coffee while brewing.

Yes, absolutely! You can substitute the milk with almond milk, oat milk, or any other non-dairy alternative.
