Notes
I like to experiment with flavors, so sometimes I add a little bit of sparkling water to make it fizzy. If you prefer more cinnamon, you can add an extra stick during the simmering stage.
Feel free to customize your mocktail! You could garnish it with mint leaves or plums slices for added flair.
