Not bad but the cinnamon was too strong and would only float on the top. Maybe try cinnamon schnapps instead of powder.

Really good beverage recipe. Plus you can play around with the spices, I love that. I'll be messing around with the measurements of this recipe for a long time for fun ^^

I think this is a fantastic idea, but all the flavourings were far too heavy for my tastes. I halved the vanilla extract, added only a quarter of the cinnamon and omitted the sugar. Perfect! (For me at least) A word of waring for those expecting a smooth drink: cinnamon does NOT dissolve in most liquids,that includes milk. If you're put off by the idea of cinnamon floaties, I'd suggest using a cinnamon quill or some cinnamon syrup

Yum, this is really tasty! I didn't exactly measure out the ingredients, though (just played it by ear). Also, I used soy milk rather than 2% milk.

This was pretty good. A nice chagne from hot chocolate. I never have 2% milk in the house, only skim so I used that. Otherwise I followed the recipe exact since it was the first time making it. I too experienced the cinnamon floating...but hey tree bark is a very bouyant substance what do you expect. After I heated it for about 40 seconds I stirred again and some of the cinnamon blended then once it was done I stirred more and much more of the cinnamon blended. I would cut back on the cinnamon next time and maybe add a dash of nutmeg, but over all pretty good.

YUM. I used skim milk and splenda. I reduced the cinnamon to 1/4 Tsp and that is plenty for our taste. Mmm, the vanilla really makes the warm milk taste great! THX

Even halfed the cinnamon and it was overbearing. Cinamon floated on me also. I'll never make again.

I've tried this twice - once as written and once with modifications. Prepared as written, the cinnamon was gritty and detracted from the recipe due to the texture and the flavor, plus it wasn't sweet enough. The second time I increased sugar to 1 tablespoon and omitted the cinnamon, and preferred it much better. Halfway through the cup, I added a dash of nutmeg to see how that would taste, and it was delish (much nicer than the cinnamon).

The cinnamon is a bit overpowering so I'd recommend cutting back.

This recipe is similar to "Milky Tea" and "Mom's Warm Milk" which are on this website too. But, HOT VANILLA is my FAVORITE!!!! I used 1% milk, 1 packet of Splenda, and vanilla and cinnamon to taste. The first time, I did not mix the Splenda and cinnamon so the cinnamon floated to the top and was chunky. The second time I mixed the cinnamon and Splenda together and the cinnamon was evenly spread on top; not chunky. I had to reduce the cook time to 1 1/2 minutes. I recipe was like "Mom's Warm Milk" but due to the nutritional benefits of cinnamon and it's one of the world's healthiest foods, I like this recipe more. I also find this a rather sweet treat that fills me up after a light breakfast or a calming, night cap. Loved the recipe

My kids loved this! It only needs 30-40 seconds in the microwave for them. We squirted whipping cream on the top and add sprinkled only a dash of cinnamon and a bit of chocolate milk mix (or chocolate syrup) on top of that!

My 6 year old son loves this....did want to know what the brown spots were. I explained it was nutmeg and he was fine with it. He's not a fan of regular hot chocolate and chocolate gives me migraines, so I was pleased to find this hot drink we both enjoy.

This was something nice instead of the usual hot drinks. I placed a cinnamon stick in the mug before adding the hot milk mixture. I added a little cinnamon while using a small caffe froth. It dissolved the cinnamon and made the drink nice and frothy.
