Go-Getter’s Guide to: a Glam Holiday Brew ~ Cinnamon Cappuccino

Cinnamon  is to Christmas…what pumpkin pie  spice is to

Thanksgiving, at least in my mind. I’m nuts  about cinnamon…love the warmth

especially during the holidays. Plus, some claim a pinch of cinnamon daily may actually be good for you.

So why not  spice up your daily grind AT HOME and dress up  that cup of cafe for the holidays!

Couldn’t be simpler thanks to my Go-Getter’s Guide  to: a glam holiday brew ~ Cinnamon Cappuccino.  YUM!

Check out this shiny gold mug! Seriously glam, right?

I picked it up at Starbucks for under $10! {LOVE! It would make a great stocking stuffer, non?}

Now for the cinnamon cappuccino.

~   ~   ~ 

Here’s the quick and delicious how-to! First, simmer up an easy batch of

cinnamon simple syrup:

1 cup sugar to 1 cup H20 – on the stove top and toss in two

cinnamon sticks. Let the trio bubble away on the stove top for a few until the sugar is dissolved.

Then cool and refrigerate to be used all week!

Next, the cinnamon steamed milk.

It’s just whole milk and freshly grated cinnamon tossed into my milk steamer. You can also do this

on the stovetop with a small pan, whisk and a little old-school muscle.  

Now brew up some good cafe, add a generous splash of cinnamon simple syrup

and spoon the fluffy, frothy cloud of white in the pretty cup with a sprinkle of 

additional cinnamon.

Don’t forget the cinnamon stir stick!

This coffee is crazy fragrant and the warmth, well…

the result is pure holiday gold. Go ahead, 

treat yourself!
