Ingredients
  

Main
  • Ground coffee: 2 tablespoons or 1 tablespoon if making espresso
  • Ground cinnamon: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Water: 8 ounces filtered or fresh
  • Milk or cream optional: 1 to 3 tablespoons
  • Sweetener optional: honey, sugar, or maple syrup to taste

Equipment

  • Coffee maker (drip, French press, pour-over, or espresso machine)
  • Coffee grinder (if using whole beans)
  • Measuring spoons
  • Mug or cup
  • Spoon for stirring (optional)

Method
 

  1. Measure 2 tablespoons of ground coffee into your filter or brewing device (use 1 tablespoon for espresso).
  2. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the coffee grounds and stir gently to combine.
  3. Heat 8 ounces of water to about 200°F (just off a boil).
  4. Pour the hot water over the cinnamon-coffee mixture and brew: steep for 4 minutes in a French press, run a drip cycle, perform a pour-over, or pull an espresso shot.
  5. Pour the brewed coffee into a mug, leaving space for milk or cream if desired.
  6. Add 1 to 3 tablespoons of milk or cream, and stir gently.
  7. Sweeten to taste with honey, sugar, or maple syrup, starting with 1 teaspoon.
  8. Stir thoroughly and serve immediately to enjoy the full aroma and flavor.

Notes

Mixing the cinnamon with the dry grounds before brewing ensures even flavor distribution and prevents gritty texture.
