Simple Cinnamon Coffee Trick - Cinnamon Coffee

Craving coffee, but with a little extra pizzazz than regular ground? Add a whole cinnamon stick to the coffee in your coffee maker (right in with the coffee grounds in the coffee filter.) Or, add a generous sprinkling of freshly ground cinnamon to those freshly ground coffee beans.

Add an extra layer by creating a custom coffee drink: take your cinnamon infused coffee, add some cream and sugar or honey, then top with whipped cream and another sprinkling of cinnamon or cinnamon sugar on top! Yummm...what a delicious, java treat for a cold winter's day.
