Recipes Drinks
This is a 'liquid hug'. Cinnamon milk isn't just a drink, it's a ritual before bed or after a stressful day. The tryptophan in warm milk is soothing, and the warming aroma of cinnamon relaxes you. Its greatness lies in its simplicity: just a few minutes and the kitchen is filled with the scent of peace.

⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Honey

Instructions

1 ✓

Pour milk into saucepan and drop in the cinnamon stick.

Tip: The cinnamon stick releases flavor slower than powder but provides a much cleaner, non-powdery taste experience.
2 ✓

Start heating over medium heat. When steaming with tiny bubbles at the edge, reduce heat to minimum.

Tip: Do not let it boil vigorously, as it changes the milk's taste (cooked milk flavor) and damages nutrients.
3 ✓

Let cinnamon steep in hot milk for another 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Tip: This is called infusion: heat causes the spice to transfer aromas to the liquid.
4 ✓

Fish out the cinnamon stick and let milk cool to drinkable temperature (approx. 120-140°F).

Tip: If too hot, it burns your tongue and you won't taste the flavors.
5 ✓

Stir in honey.

Tip: In lukewarm milk, honey retains its beneficial properties.
6 ✓

Pour into mugs and dust top with a hint of ground cinnamon.

Tip: Sip slowly.
