Notes
I like using freshly squeezed lemon juice; it brightens up the drink. π
Cinnamon syrup can be store-bought or homemade. Mixing sugar, water, and cinnamon makes a simple syrup. Adjust the spice to suit your taste. Remember, everyone's spice tolerance is different!
Feel free to experiment with the garnishes. A sprinkle of nutmeg or a twist of orange peel can bring a different feel.
