3 tbsp dark brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Milk or half-and-half, to taste
Instructions

Notes
- For Scandinavian style, add 1/4 tsp almond extract and a pinch of crushed fennel seeds before steeping.
- Swap cinnamon for cardamom or use a mix of both for a different spice profile.
- Make it Vietnamese-inspired by replacing cream with sweetened condensed milk.
- Add 1–2 tsp cocoa powder to the coffee base for a mocha variation.
