EDIT 1-28: Alright, definitely better with warm milk. This time I used my milk frother (unfortunately it broke and only warmed the milk) and it was much much better. Warmed me up on this chilly snowy day. I’ll make this again.
Was hoping for a hug in a mug but this wasn’t quite there. The overall flavor was nice but I forgot to froth the milk. When I poured it over the milk it cooled the drink and that coziness that would have come from a warm drink was lost. Flavor instead was more like green tea with cinnamon that cooled from sitting too long.
I’ll try it again with frothing the milk to see if that helps overall temp. I did pop it back in the microwave and that was better.
