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!
I need this TODAY!! Love the glam gold cup, by the way!
