Ingredients
- Ground coffee (2 tablespoons)
- Cinnamon (2 teaspoons, divided)
- Milk (1 cup)
- Honey (3 tablespoons, divided)
- Granulated sugar (1 tablespoon)
- Whipped cream (1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Brew the ground coffee with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon according to your preferred method, whether it's a French press, drip coffee maker, or espresso machine.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, mixing thoroughly to create a delightful cinnamon-sugar blend.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form; set aside for topping later.
- In a microwave-safe mug, heat the milk until hot but not boiling, about 1-2 minutes in the microwave. Be cautious not to let it boil over.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey into the hot milk until completely dissolved, creating a sweet honey-infused base.
- Pour the brewed coffee evenly into two mugs, filling them halfway.
- Add the honey-infused milk to each mug, stirring gently to combine the coffee and milk mixture.
- Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top of the coffee, allowing it to create a sweet crust.
- Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream for a creamy finish.
- Drizzle the remaining honey over the whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness and garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon.
- Serve hot and savor the comforting flavors that evoke memories of warm, freshly baked sopapillas.
